Spenser, Milton, and the Redemption of the Epic Hero

By (author) Christopher Bond





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

This book studies the interplay of theology and poetics in the three great epics of early modern England, the Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained. Bond examines how Spenser and Milton adapted the pattern of dual heroism developed in classical and Medieval works. Challenging the opposition between Calvinist, allegorical Spenser and Arminian, dramatic Milton, this book offers a new understanding of their doctrinal and literary affinities within the European epic tradition.
