Milton's Paradise with Reference to the Hexameral Background

By Mary Irma Corcoran and Mary Irma Corcoran Sis

Book Overview

Milton's Paradise With Reference To The Hexameral Background by Mary Irma Corcoran is a scholarly work that explores John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost, through the lens of the Hexameron, a genre of literature that describes the creation of the world in six days. The author examines how Milton's depiction of the creation story in Paradise Lost is influenced by the Hexameron tradition and how he deviates from it. Corcoran also delves into the theological and philosophical implications of Milton's portrayal of the creation story, including his views on free will, the nature of God, and the fall of man. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of literature, theology, and philosophy who are interested in understanding the complexities of Milton's masterpiece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
