Abstract

John Creaser's study, "Milton and the Resources of the Line," challenges the devaluative criticism of F.R. Leavis towards Milton's epic poetry. Creaser utilizes Derek Attridge's methodology to analyze the relationship between syntax and lineation in Milton's poetry, emphasizing the importance of sound and aesthetic response. He argues that reading early modern English verse is an aural experience and advocates for reading the lines aloud. Creaser's study highlights the aesthetic achievement and pleasure of reading Milton's verse, offering a unique perspective in Milton studies. [Extracted from the article]
