Beautiful sublime : the making of Paradise lost, 1701-1734

To explore the early-eighteenth-century view of the 'sublime Milton', the author analyzes the work of five readers of Paradise Lost during the years 1701-34: Joseph Addison, the only writer of the five who attained any lasting fame; and John Dennis, by far the most important - and overlooked - of the early Miltonists.
