Wedges and Wings: The Patterning of Paradise Regained (Literary Structure Ser)

By Burton Jasper Weber and Associate Professor Burton Jasper Weber Ph.D.

This companion work to Weber's previous book The Construction of Paradise Lost similarly applies incisive structural analysis to Milton's later epic. As in his earlier work, Weber here examines the poem's argumentative and dramatic struc­ture in order to define Milton's aim and method. In doing so, Weber gives fresh insight into the subtlety and significance of the poem's moral argumentation, the human attractiveness of its hero, and the forging of its portrait of moral disinte­gration.
