Unbound : Controversy and Reinterpretation

champion of the emerging bourgeoisie. Rumrich reveals the pressures
that have shaped this current critical orthodoxy, and exposes the

Historicizing
Milton : Spectacle, Power,
and Poetry in Restoration England
by Laura Lunger Knoppers
Published by Univ of Georgia Pr, July 1994
"Knoppers (English, Pennsylvania State U.) shows
how Milton's major poems respond specifically to
royalist spectacles of the 1660s and 1670s that
were intended as displays of divinely approved
monarchical power. Drawing on sources such as
letters, diaries, newspaper accounts, and sermons,
she reconstructs the discourses that interpreted
and contested spectacles of power and punish-
ment. Knoppers argues that Milton's poems are
part of this oppositional discourse."
