The Astronomy Of Milton's Paradise Lost

By Thomas Nathaniel Orchard

Book Overview

The Astronomy of Milton's Paradise Lost is a scholarly work by Thomas N. Orchard that explores the celestial imagery and astronomical references found in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. The book delves into the complex symbolism and allegory used by Milton to depict the cosmos and its relationship to the themes of sin, redemption, and divine providence in the poem. Orchard draws on his expertise in astronomy and literature to provide a detailed analysis of the astronomical concepts and terminology used by Milton and the scientific knowledge available to him in the 17th century. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Milton, astronomy, and the intersection of science and literature in early modern England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
