The New Oxford Book of Seventeenth-Century Verse
Author: Alastair Fowler
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199556296
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 831
Book Description
Alistair Fowler's celebrated anthology includes generous selections from the work of all the century's major poets, notably Donne, Jonson, Milton, Drayton, Herbert, Marvell, and Dryden. It strikes a balance between Metaphysical wit and intellect and Jonsonian simplicity, while also accommodating hitherto neglected popular verse. The result is a truer, more Catholic representation of seventeenth-century verse than any previous anthology.

Milton Among the Philosophers
Author: Stephen M. Fallon
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801473678
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
While Johnson charged that Milton "unhappily perplexed his poetry with his philosophy," Stephen M. Fallon argues that the relationship between Milton's philosophy and the poetry of Paradise Lost is a happy one. The author examines Milton's thought in light of the competing philosophical systems that filled the vacuum left by the repudiation of Aristotle in the seventeenth century. In what has become the classic account of Milton's animist materialism, Fallon revises our understanding of Milton's philosophical sophistication. The book offers a new interpretation of the War in Heaven in Paradise Lost as a clash of metaphysical systems, with free will hanging in the balance.
