  First published in 1971. The intention of Milton's Creation is to provide the student with a simple and direct entry into Paradise Lost. The author is not concerned with taking sides in critical controversy. His aim is to elucidate Milton's primary meanings; this is a work of exegesis, not of interpretation.

  In this new book, on arguably the greatest epic in the English language, the central substance of Milton's `great Argument' is articulated with great clarity. By keeping in mind the epic status and universality common to Paradise Lost and Ulysses, the author introduces a post-Joycean perspective into his vision of Milton's Creation.
