In Book III ofParadise LostChrist accepts his mission to redeem mankind with the wordsThough now to Death I yield, and am his due All that of me can die, yet that debt paid, Thou wilt not leave me in the loathsom grave His prey, nor suffer my unspotted Soule For ever with corruption there to dwell.1

摘要:

The publication of the divorce tracts earned for Milton the reputation of a radical whose views favoring the dissolubility of marriage in certain circumstances were in opposition to the basic moral laws of Christian society. Following the appearance ofThe Doctrine and Discipline of Divorcein 1643, he was attacked as a “lewd” writer guilty of advocating “libertinism” and accused of encouraging men and women to abandon their lawful spouses.1In the preface to his translation ofThe Judgment of Martin Bucer(1644), Milton admits that he had been denounced for setting forth a doctrine that was “licentious” and “scandalous.“2He felt that the opinions of the prestigious Bucer in favor of divorce would strengthen his own position, but the appearance of the translation did little if anything to stem the tide; his writings continued to be criticized as “corrupt and wicked” and “little less than blasphemy.“3After the simultaneous publication in March 1645 of theColasterion(a counter‐attack on his opponents) and theTetrachordon(an account of the four scriptural passages bearing on divorce), the attacks escalated. He was treated as the prophet of a new heretical sect, the Divorcers; his views on loosening the bonds of marriage were said to constitute an incitement to “inordinate lust”; there was even a rumor that Milton had “two or three wives living”; and at the Restoration he was still being casti

Milton himself, of course, insisted on the “ancient” and “Italian,” the “traditional,“ character ofSamson Agonistesin his pithy preface to the play with a title reminiscent of Dryden'sEssay of Dramatic Poesy: “Of That Sort of Dramatic Poem which is call'd Tragedy.” He also let us know why he bothered to repeat simple if high‐sounding commonplaces about tragedy: “This is mention'd,” he wrote toward the close of his preface, “to vindicate Tragedy from the small esteem, or rather infamy, which in the account of many it undergoes at this day with oth

摘要:

Editor's note: At a time when American Miltonists are helping their fellow scholars from England preserve national monuments to the memory of Milton such as the cottage at Chalfont St. Giles, perhaps it is fitting to notice a Victorian memorial, which was the occasion of Matthew Arnold's last public address: the Milton Window at St. Margaret's, Westminster, next to Westminster Abbey.

摘要:

“The New World honors him,“ states the verse on the stained glass panels that embellish the entrance archway at St. Margaret's Church in London. The brilliantly wrought window was given by an American, journalist George William Childs, then Editor‐in‐Chief of the PhiladelphiaPublic Ledger,1commemorating the Englishman who had spoken out for liberty in his own country at the same time the American colonists were just beginning their long approach to the eventual Declaration. Herein lies not only our claim to kinship with Milton, but as well a pew reserved “in perpetuity” (p. 186) for Americans at St. Margaret's. At the ceremony for unveiling the gift, however, Matthew Arnold emphasized Milton's poetic excellence, not his lib
