MILTON AND ECOLOGY

Why consider the role of place in Milton’s poetry? A few years ago, while attending a seminar conducted by Diane McColley on the relation of nature to culture in the literary history of the natural world, I found myself returning again and again to the same question: what happens when culture is privileged over place? No mere academic question, as the last acres of the place my family had farmed for generations had given way to bulldozers the year before, I found myself feeling that I had somehow lost my place in the world | MILTON AND ECOLOGY In Milton and Ecology Ken Hiltner engages with literary theoretical and historic approaches to explore the ideological underpinnings of our current environmental crisis. Focusing on Milton s rejection of dualistic theology metaphysical philosophy and early modern subjectivism Hiltner agues that Milton anticipates certain essential modern ecological arguments. Even more remarkable is that Milton was able to integrate these arguments with biblical sources so seamlessly that his interpretative Green reading of scripture has for over three centuries been entirely plausible. This study considers how Milton from the earliest edition of the Poems not only sought to tell the story of how through humanity s folly Paradise on earth was lost but also sought to tell how it might be regained. This intriguing study will be of interest to eco-critics and Milton specialists alike. ken hiltner has published widely on Milton. His articles have been published in Milton Studies Milton Quarterly and English Language .
