'Ranging across Milton's career in prose and verse, Prawdzik establishes the reasons why theatricality mattered, not only to the poet's understanding of authority, selfhood and the millennial triumph of a nation, but also to his understanding of human vulnerability and sinfulness.' Reid Barbour, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Explains the presence of theatre in John Milton and its centrality to his politics and poetry Theatrical Milton explores the longstanding problem of Milton's relationship to theatre. In the process, it provides compelling solutions to the cruces of major Miltonic texts - the Maske, Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes - while offering uniquely extensive treatments of The Vacation Exercise and Animadversions, bringing these into an untold narrative of Milton's career. The book attends to Milton's interest in the dramatic medium yet finds its most significant answers in the role of the body in rhetorical theory and religious politics. It extends its insights to characterise the Miltonic corpus as a systemic body that evolves through bounded indeterminacies.
