Beginning with a discussion of John Colet's commentary on Dionysisus' twin hierarchies, Feisal G. Mohamed explores the significance of the Dionysian tradition to the conformism debate of the 1590s through works by Richard Hooker and Edmund Spenser. He then turns to John Donne and John Milton to shed light on their constructions of godly poetics, politics and devotion, and provides the most extensive study of Milton's angelology in more than fifty years. With new philosophical, theological, and literary insights, this work offers a contribution to intellectual history and the history of religion in critical moments of the English Reformation. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAngels in literature 606 $aAngels$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReformation$zEngland 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAngels in literature. 615 0$aAngels$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aReformation 676 $a820.9/38235309031 700 $aMohamed$b Feisal G$g(Feisal Gharib),$f1974-$0997802 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456826703321 996 $aIn the anteroom of divinity$92288410 997 $aUNINA
