Описание:

Despite writing about himself extensively and repeatedly, John Milton, the archetypal Puritan author, resolutely avoids the obligatory Augustinian narrative of sinfulness, conviction of sin, reception of the Word, regeneration of the spirit, and sanctification. The doctrine of fall, grace, and regeneration, so well illustrated in Paradise Lost, has no discernible effect on Miltons overt self-representations. Exploring this anomaly in his new book, Stephen M. Fallon contends that Milton, despite his deep engagement with theology, is not a religious writer.

Why, Fallon asks, does Milton write about himself so compulsively? Why does he substitute, for the otherwise universal theological script, a story of precocious and continued virtue, even, it seems, a narrative of sinlessness? What pressures does this decision to reject the standard narrative exert on his work?

In Miltons Peculiar Grace, Fallon argues that Milton writes about himself to gain immortality, secure authority for his arguments, and exert control over his readers interpretations. He traces the return of the repressed narrative of fallenness in the authors unacknowledged and displaced self-representations, which in turn account for much of the power of the late poems. Fallons book, based on close readings of Miltons self-constructions in prose and poetry throughout his career, provides a new view of Miltons life and his importance for contemporary literary theory-in particular for continued questions about authorial intention.
