The Milton of the critics is either denounced as pompous or admired for his grand style. The Milton of the scholars is weighed down with classical learning and Protestant theology. For the student, in consequence, Milton is a figure certainly respected, even feared - but largely unread. This book represents a Milton that challenges rather than daunts the reader. This is the Milton whose writing is a product of one of the most turbulent eras of English history, the period of the Revolution, the Commonwealth and the Restoration. In Catherine Belsey's analysis, Milton's is, in consequence, a turbulent writing, fully engaged with questions of politics, gender and language. In all these spheres, Milton's poetry and prose constitute an unresolved confrontation with difference. Produced on the threshold of the modern world, the texts foreshadow issues which are fiercely contested again today. Power is seen to be dangerous and unstable, patriachy precarious, masculinity vulnerable and the language ultimately beyond the control of the impulse to master it.

Poststructuralism changes the way we understand the relations between human beings, their culture, and the world. Following a brief account of the historical relationship between structuralism and poststructuralism, this very short introduction traces the key arguments that have led poststructuralists to challenge traditional theories of language and culture. Whilst the author discusses such well-known figures as Barthes, Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan, she also draws pertinent examples from literature, art, film, and popular culture, unfolding the postructuralist account of what it means to be a human being. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly accessible.
