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. 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.
