Twentieth Century Interpretations of Samson Agonistes: A Collection of Critical EssaysGalbraith Miller Crump Prentice-Hall, 1968 - 120 páginas "In this collection of essays, Galbraith M. Crump presents a variety of critical views that reflect the breadth and complexity of Milton's vision in his verse drama, Samson Agonistes. Ranging from James Holly Hanford's biographical approach and William R. Parker's discussion of Milton's debt to Greek drama, to E. M. W. Tillyard's analysis of the poem's origins and F. Michael Krouse's comparison of Samson and Christ, the writings in this volume show the diversity of opinion surrounding the poem that recreates an Old Testament myth in the form of a Greek tragedy." -- Page four of cover |
