First published in 1971. The intention of Milton's Creation is to provide the student with a simple and direct entry into Paradise Lost. The author is not concerned with taking sides in critical controversy. His aim is to elucidate Milton's primary meanings; this is a work of exegesis, not of interpretation.
In this new book, on arguably the greatest epic in the English language, the central substance of Milton's 'great Argument' is articulated with great clarity. By keeping in mind the epic status and universality common to Paradise Lost and Ulysses, the author introduces a post-Joycean perspective into his vision of Milton's Creation.
