Rezensionen

"This volume by Quiring is extremely enjoyable both for its fluent style and clear exposition, and for the depth of its scientific approach: he re-reads some previous philosophical perspectives from a new creative light, shedding new meaning on Milton's allegories and symbols." Daniela Carpi, University of Verona, Italy

"Both dense and capacious, this study will be foundational to future scholarly treatment of the influence of natural law on Milton's work." Lynn Greenberg, Hunter College, CUNY, USA



"Trials of Nature demonstrates wide-ranging scholarship and both brilliance and interpretative licence", David V. Urban, Calvin University, Michigan, USA
