9780820703039: Milton & the Imperial Vision (Medieval & Renaissance Literary Studies)

Synopsis

Literary scholars and cultural historians offer 16 essays focusing mostly on forms and variations of imperialism and colonialism in the 17th century, chiefly as a context in which to analyze Milton's poetry and prose. But they also consider and compare present-day concerns with postcolonialism and its discourse. They include perspectives on imperial visions of history, imperial intolerance, the geography of empire, the role of Nature, the interplay of religion and politics, and other topics. Annotation c.
