The Christian Poet in Paradise LostUniversity of California Press, 1972 - 194 pagina's "As aspect of Paradise Lost that most readers respond to is Milton's presence in the poem, a presence felt not only in the epic invocations and the other direct intrusions of the poet's voice but also in the shape and texture of the narrative itself. I wish here to examine this presence and to argue that the epic characters of Milton's poem are drawn with continued reference to the poet as he is portrayed in the four lyrical prologues."--from Introduction. |
