Milton and the Politics of Public Speech (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Using Hannah Arendt's account of the Greek polis to explain Milton's fascination with the idea of public speech, this book reveals what is distinctive about his conception of a godly, republican oratory and poetics. Setting Milton's poetry and prose in the context of Civil War polemic; classical political theory and its early modern reinterpretations; and Renaissance writing on rhetoric and poetic language, the volume culminates in an Arendtian reading of his 'Greek' drama Samson Agonistes.
