WhatGCOs new about the apocalypse? Revelation does not allow us to look back after the end and enumerate pivotal turning points. It happens in an immediate encounter with the transformatively new.John MiltonGs and Andrew MarvellGs lyrics attempt to render the experience of such an apocalyptic change in the present. In this respect they take seriously the ReformationGs insistence that eschatology is a historical phenomenon. Yet these poets are also reacting to the Regicide, and, as a result, their works explore very modern questions about the nature of events, what it means for a significant historical occasion to happen.Lyric Apocalypse argues that MiltonGs and MarvellGs lyrics challenge any retrospective understanding of events, including one built on a theory of revolution. Instead, these poems show that there is no GafterG to the apocalypse, that if we are going to talk about change, we should do so in the present, when there is still time to do something about it. For both of these poets, lyric becomes a way to imagine an apocalyptic event that would be both hopeful and new.
