Miltons early commentatorsHenry Todd, Thomas Newton, Joseph Addison, and othersnot only knew their classics well, they took them seriously as models of literary excellence and repositories of values. In the twentieth century, however, the classics have become mere background. As a consequence, William M. Porter argues, not only is the foundational dimension of Miltons poetry now hardly visible, even to scholars, but the potential of Miltons poetry to revitalize the reading of the classics has been diminished.In this insightful study, Porter attempts once again to read both the classics and Miltons epic poem sensitively and intelligently. He exposes the recklessly speculative and tendentious character of much earlier work on Miltons allusions, in which allusions were promiscuously posited and in which Paradise Lost was too often regarded naively as triumphing over the classics. Porter demonstrates that Miltons allusions, in which allusions to the classics, while fewer than has been supposed, are rich with wit, irony, and thought that can be grasped only by a reader with a double perspective.
