{"product_id":"milton-and-the-transformation-of-charles-martindale-9781853996504","title":"Milton and the Transformation of Ancient Epic","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilton has long been recognised as being among English poets most indebted to ancient literature, but the range and depth of that debt have rarely been explored. Here Martindale examines the use Milton made of other ancient poets, notably Homer, Ovid and Lucan, and finds some surprising elements in the style of \"Paradise Lost\" - Horace for example. He is primarily concerned with Milton's attitude to the classics and the questions that raises as to his methods. Renaissance views of classical poets and eighteenth-century commentaries on Milton are brought to bear on these questions. Finally the limits of Milton's classicism and the differences between \"Paradise Lost\" and its predecessors are considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Martindale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853996505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853996504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.52w x 0.52d","brand":"Charles Martindale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425407254783,"sku":"9781853996504","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84e7aa1d-8d2a-4d0f-9822-d86a42fc399e.jpg?v=1761539009","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/milton-and-the-transformation-of-charles-martindale-9781853996504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
