Milton in the Arab-Muslim World

By Islam Issa

Book Overview

The first full-length study of the reception of John Milton's (1608-74) writings in the Arab-Muslim world, this book examines the responses of Arab-Muslim readers to Milton's works, particularly Paradise Lost. It contributes to knowledge of the history, development, and ways in which early modern writings are read and understood by Muslims, analysing a range of literary and religious aspects of Milton's writing in light of the cultural, theological, socio-political, linguistic and translational contexts of the Arab world.
