Description: "This book offers a fresh contextual reading of Paradise Lost, recovering a vital intellectual ferment of the new science, magic, and alchemy of the seventeenth century to reveal new and unexpected aspects of Milton's cosmos and chaos, and the characters of the angels and Adam and Eve. Malabika Sarkar brilliantly demonstrates that modes of thought that are now thought of as contradictory were profoundly influential on Milton's poetic practice."--Publisher's website.
