Milton in the Arab-Muslim World - Islam Issa - Bog

The first full-length study of the reception of John Milton¿s (1608-74) writings in the Arab-Muslim world, this book examines the responses of Arab-Muslim readers to Milton¿s works, particularly Paradise Lost. It contributes to knowledge of the history, development, and ways in which early modern writings are read and understood by Muslims, analysing a range of literary and religious aspects of Milton¿s writing in light of the cultural, theological, socio-political, linguistic and translational contexts of the Arab world.
