Milton’s Moving Bodies

John Rumrich, Sydney Bartlett, Erin Webster, Rachel Trubowitz, Achsah Guibbory, Jennifer Wallace, Ryan Hackenbracht, Mario Murgia

A collection of innovative examinations of embodiment in Milton's oeuvre that challenge assumptions about disciplinary boundaries This volume brings unprecedented focus to the forms, spaces, and implications of embodied motion in Milton's writing and its afterlives to explore how and why he privileges the body-human and textual-as a site of dynamic movement. The contributors bring a variety of lenses to Milton's moving bodies: political history, kinematics, mathematics, cosmology, translation, illustration, anatomies of racialized and disabled bodies, and twenty-first-century pedagogies. From these wide-ranging vantage points, they consider anew Milton's contributions to the histories of scientific development, global exploration and imperial expansion, migration and diaspora, and translation and adaptation in England, Europe, and the Americas, from the early modern period to today. Milton's Moving Bodies draws together established and emerging scholars, offering fresh analyses of the poet's legacy for multiple traditions within and beyond Milton studies.
