Romantic Responses to Revolution through Miltonic Ideas of the Fall

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.
