商品描述
This book focuses on the cultural reception of Milton and his works in nineteenth-century America. Using reception theory, the work analyzes the contributions of Milton and his writings to demonstrate how major social movements appropriated him in ways that "reinvent" him, making him what Margaret Fuller called "emphatically American." The book centers on Milton's influence on the movements focused on the development of American Christianity, abolition, and women's suffrage. Each group approaches his writings with different "horizons of expectations" determined, in part, by the social problems they address. Each has unique ways of disseminating and consuming information about Milton and his writings, sometimes determined by how readers in different geographical locations read him. And, each debate makes extensive use of American periodicals of the period, revealing critical information about how Milton's writings were disseminated and deployed. Milton's presence in these debates helped shape American society at the time and provides proof for us of how Milton can remain relevant in the issues faced by Americans in 'our day.'
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書專注於十九世紀美國對米爾頓及其作品的文化接受。透過接受理論，該作品分析了米爾頓及其著作的貢獻，以展示主要社會運動如何以「重新塑造」的方式挪用他，使他成為瑪格麗特·富勒所稱的「強烈美國化」的形象。本書圍繞米爾頓對於美國基督教發展、廢奴運動和婦女選舉權運動的影響。每個群體以不同的「期待視野」來接觸他的著作，這些視野部分由他們所關注的社會問題所決定。每個群體都有獨特的方式來傳播和消費有關米爾頓及其著作的信息，有時這取決於不同地理位置的讀者如何閱讀他的作品。此外，每場辯論廣泛利用當時的美國期刊，揭示了有關米爾頓著作如何被傳播和運用的重要信息。米爾頓在這些辯論中的存在幫助塑造了當時的美國社會，並為我們提供了證據，顯示米爾頓如何在「我們這個時代」面對的問題中保持相關性。
