Over the long reception history of the Miltonic corpus, Milton's treatment of sensory perception, as well as the sensory qualities (or lack thereof) observable in his poetry and prose, have given rise to often heated debate.

A particular focus is on Milton's earliest poetry and prose - his Latin elegies and 'prolusiones' - as well as on the four proems to 'Paradise Lost'.
