Rate 0.0 /5

"Examining Milton's poetry in the context of many debates swirling around polytheism and monotheism, this study demonstrates the profound differences between doctrinal discourse and narrative poetry and how neither is, individually, able to fully represent Milton's monotheism--or, as Abraham Stoll says, 'a God of flickering subjectivity'"--Provided by publisher.
