Milton and the Culture of Violence

0/5 ( ratings)

In this powerful work of criticism, Lieb explores the culture of violence--shaped by myth as well as historical circumstance--that colors Milton's outlook and permeates his art. In Lieb's view, a central image in Milton's writings is the specter of sparagmos, or bodily mutilation and dismemberment. Tracing this image across Milton's entire career, Lieb offers authoritative new readings of Areopagitica, A Mask, Lycidas, Samson Agonistes, and Paradise Lost, as well as of lesser-known works.
