Milton’s Moving Bodies: Rethinking the Early Modern
Editat de Marissa Greenberg, Rachel Trubowitz Contribuţii de John Rumrich, Sydney Bartlett, Erin Webster, Achsah Guibbory, Jennifer Wallace, Ryan Hackenbracht, Mario Murgia, Angelica Duran, Reginald A. Wilburn, Steve Fallonen Hardback – 15 sep 2024
A collection of innovative examinations of embodiment in Milton’s oeuvre that challenge assumptions about disciplinary boundaries
This volume brings unprecedented focus to the forms, spaces, and implications of embodied motion in Milton’s writing and its afterlives to explore how and why he privileges the body—human and textual—as a site of dynamic movement. The contributors bring a variety of lenses to Milton’s moving bodies: political history, kinematics, mathematics, cosmology, translation, illustration, anatomies of racialized and disabled bodies, and twenty-first-century pedagogies. From these wide-ranging vantage points, they consider anew Milton’s contributions to the histories of scientific development, global exploration and imperial expansion, migration and diaspora, and translation and adaptation in England, Europe, and the Americas, from the early modern period to today. Milton’s Moving Bodies draws together established and emerging scholars, offering fresh analyses of the poet’s legacy for multiple traditions within and beyond Milton studies.

Recenzii
“Across a series of erudite and compelling essays, Milton’s Moving Bodies exposes how integral the variations of ‘movement’ and ‘rest’ are to the comprehension, reception, and translation of Milton’s work.”—Russ Leo, Princeton University
“This boundary-defying volume is both highly persuasive and well presented, engaging but also ambitiously roaming far afield from prevalent investigations of Milton’s materialist philosophy, animistic materialism, and embodiment. Its essays effectively intersect and move current conversations about these issues in new directions.”—Elizabeth Sauer, Brock University
