Milton And Jakob Boehme: A Study Of German Mysticism In Seventeenth-Century England

By Margaret Lewis Bailey and Margaret Lewis

Book Overview

""Milton and Jakob Boehme: A Study of German Mysticism in Seventeenth-Century England"" by Margaret Lewis Bailey is a comprehensive analysis of the influence of Jakob Boehme's mystical philosophy on the works of John Milton, one of the most prominent English poets of the seventeenth century. The book explores the historical and cultural context of the time, focusing on the parallel developments of German and English mysticism during the seventeenth century. Bailey examines the similarities and differences between the two traditions, and highlights the ways in which Boehme's ideas were incorporated into Milton's poetry, particularly in his epic poem ""Paradise Lost."" The book also provides a detailed analysis of the theological and philosophical themes that underpin both Milton's and Boehme's works, including the nature of God, the fall of man, and the role of human beings in the world. Overall, ""Milton and Jakob Boehme"" is a fascinating study of the intersection of two major literary and philosophical traditions, and sheds new light on the intellectual and cultural history of seventeenth-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
