First edition. xv+255 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Sehr gut. XV, 255 p. minimale Verschmutzung auf Schutzumschlag, ansonsten sehr sauber und ohne Anstreichungen / minor soiling on dust jacket, otherwise very clean and without markings. - The New England Milton concentrates on the poets place in the writings of the Unitarians and the Transcendentalists, especially Emerson, Thoreau, William Ellery Channing, Jones Very, Margaret Fuller, and Theodore Parker, and demonstrates that his reception by both groups was a function of their response as members of the New England elite to older and broader socio-political tensions in Yankee culture as it underwent the process of modernization. For Milton and his writings (particularly Paradise Lost) were themselves early manifestations of the continuing crisis of authority that later afflicted the dominant class and professions in Boston; and so, the Unitarian Milton, like the Milton of Emersons lectures or Thoreaus Walden, quite naturally became the vehicle for literary attempts by these authors to resolve the ideological contradictions they had inherited from the Puritan past. / CONTENTS PREFACE INTRODUCTION: PURITAN AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BACKGROUND 1 THE UNITARIAN MILTON 2 THAT SAINTED SPIRIT 3 EMERSON AND MILTON 4 THE TRANSCENDENTALIST MILTON 5 PISGAH AND KTAADN EPILOGUE: FRESH WOODS AND PASTURES NEW BIBLIOGRAPHY INDEX.
