Synopsis

The two poets of Robert McMahon's study are John Milton, the author of "Paradise Lost" and his Bard, the narrator within that epic. Most scholars blur the two into "Milton" the historic person/poet, but McMahon makes a clear distinction that begets an alternative understanding of the poem as a whole. He argues that the Bard is a fictional character created by Milton and that the Bard's own implied story unfolds as he sings his account of the Fall. In illuminating this secondary story, McMahon reveals that Milton's masterpiece is as much about the making of a Christian epic poet as it is about mankind's undoing.
