Samson and the Heap of the Dead -- Notes -- IndexThe argument of Delirious Milton is that Milton's creative power is drawn from a rift at the center of his consciousness over the question of creation itself. This rift forces the poet to oscillate deliriously between two incompatible perspectives, at once affirming and denying the presence of spirit in what he creates. From one perspective, the act of creation is centered in God and the purpose of art is to imitate and praise the Creator. From the other perspective, the act of creation is centered in the human, in the built environment of the modern world.Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.)History17th centuryPoetryAuthorshipHistory17th centuryPoetryAuthorshipPsychological aspectsHallucinations and illusions in literatureDelirium in literatureAesthetics, BritishCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.)HistoryPoetryAuthorshipHistoryPoetryAuthorshipPsychological aspects.Hallucinations and illusions in literature.Delirium in literature.Aesthetics, British.821/.4HK 2575rvkTeskey Gordon1953-1804109MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963414003321Delirious Milton4351999UNINA
