Romantic Responses to Revolution through Miltonic Ideas of the Fall explores the influence of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost, on a range of Romantic and post-Romantic writers. Specifically, the book examines the way in which these writers use the Fall, and the notion of 'fallenness'--as envisioned in Paradise Lost--as a model for writing about their roles as poets/writers in periods of political and cultural turmoil.This book will be of value to undergraduate and postgraduate students of English Literature with a specific interest in the Romantics. The writers and texts featured--including the 'big six' of Romantic poets, and three canonical novels of the early nineteenth century--are very widely studied on English Literature courses across the UK, US, and Europe. This makes the book an ideal reference text or inspiration point for essays, coursework, and theses, while the concise and accessible style should be especially appealing for undergraduates and lecturers looking for an approachable overview of Romantic responses to revolution and the influence of Milton.
