Romantic Responses to Revolution through Miltonic Ideas of the Fall
explores the influence of John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost, on
a range of Romantic and post-Romantic writers. Specifically, the book
examines the way in which these writers use the Fall, and the notion
of ‘fallenness’—as envisioned in Paradise Lost—as a model for
writing about their roles as poets/writers in periods of political and
cultural turmoil. This book will be of value to undergraduate and
postgraduate students of English Literature with a specific interest
in the Romantics. The writers and texts featured—including the
‘big six’ of Romantic poets, and three canonical novels of the
early nineteenth century—are very widely studied on English
Literature courses across the UK, US, and Europe. This makes the book
an ideal reference text or inspiration point for essays, coursework,
and theses, while the concise and accessible style should be
especially appealing for undergraduates and lecturers looking for an
approachable overview of Romantic responses to revolution and the
influence of Milton.
