Paradise Lost and the Cosmological Revolution

This Volume Brings John Milton''S Paradise Lost Into Dialogue With The Challenges Of Cosmology And The World Of Galileo Whom Milton Met And Admired: A Universe Encompassing Space Travel An Earth That Participates Vibrantly In The Cosmic Dance And Stars That Are ''World[S] / Of Destined Habitation''. Milton''S Bold Depiction Of Our Universe As Merely A Small Part Of A Larger Multiverse Allows The Removal Of Hell From The Center Of The Earth To A Location In The Primordial Abyss. In This Wide-Ranging Work Dennis Danielson Lucidly Unfolds Early Modern Cosmological Debates Engaging Not Only Galileo But Also Copernicus Tycho Kepler And The English Copernicans Thus Placing Milton At A Rich Crossroads Of Epic Poetry And The History Of Science.
