Sheffield, England: Sheffield Academic Press, 1996. 227 pp. Notes, bibliography, index. Orpheus is one of a number of mythical heroes against whose image Milton fashions a sense of himself as a heroic writer, publicly and personally engaged in the politics of Commonwealth and post-Commonwealth England. How do the various guises of Orpheus (the archetypal but failing poet, the passionate but guilty lover, the victim of mob violence, the civilizer of men) contribute to Milton's conception of heroism and heroic authorship? With the assistance of Mikhail Bakhtin's work on the concepts of "author" and "hero," this study examines Milton's use of the Orpheus myth across the range of his writing, from the early poetry through the prose tracts, to "Paradise Lost."` Small bump to top of spine, else "near fine." Dustjacket bumped at top of spine and shows light overall wear.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 16 x 24 cm.
