Leslie E Moore's hardcover Beautiful Sublime: The Making of Paradise Lost, 1701-1734 examines how early eighteenth-century readers discussed the sublime and the beautiful in Milton's poem. Listed under All Books, it studies five readers from 1701-34: Joseph Addison, who attained lasting fame; John Dennis, an important but overlooked early Miltonist; Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea, who wrote a parody of Book 8 and accounts of Eve; Jane Adams, a Scottish lyric poet who reimagined Adam and Eve's domestic hierarchy; and Jonathan Richardson, who attempted the first Christian interpretation of Paradise Lost and wrote the first biography of Milton as a sublime poet. The book considers how beauty could suggest both generic stability and transformation, challenging the idea of a sublime Milton. Early descriptions quoted in the source call Milton's genius "wonderfully turned to the Sublime" and his mind "Great, strong, elegant and sublime." SKU: sku-453145590.
