The Christ Of Paradise Regained And Renaissance Heroic Tradition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258047528)

The Christ of Paradise Regained and Renaissance Heroic Tradition is a scholarly book written by Merritt Yerkes Hughes. The book explores the connections between John Milton's epic poem Paradise Regained and the Renaissance heroic tradition, with a specific focus on the portrayal of Christ as a heroic figure. Hughes argues that Milton's depiction of Christ in Paradise Regained draws heavily from the classical and Renaissance heroic tradition, which viewed heroism as a combination of physical prowess, intellectual acumen, and moral virtue. In this context, Christ is portrayed as a heroic figure who overcomes temptation and achieves victory through his superior knowledge and moral strength. The book also examines the influence of Milton's contemporary political and religious context on his portrayal of Christ. Hughes argues that Milton's portrayal of Christ as a heroic figure reflects his own political and religious views, which emphasized individual liberty and the importance of moral virtue in the face of political and religious oppression. Overall, The Christ of Paradise Regained and Renaissance Heroic Tradition is a detailed and insightful analysis of Milton's epic poem and its place in the broader literary and cultural context of the Renaissance. It will be of interest to scholars of literature, history, and religion, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of politics, religion, and culture in the Renaissance era.Studies In Philology, V35, No. 2, April, 1938.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
