Milton and the Bible in the Epic and the Propaganda
The piece contrasts Milton’s sincere reformer stance with public misreadings of his Paradise Lost. It argues Milton blends Bible lore with Greek myth, elevating Lucifer as a noble figure while separating his fiction from biblical doctrine. The article notes Milton’s religious zeal, political role with Cromwell, and the Bible’s Jewish origin versus Milton’s Greek orientation. Wheat and corn prices close with season’s greeting.
