Ross — Milton and the Protestant Aesthetic

Ross, Malcolm M. “Milton and the Protestant Aesthetic: The Early Poems.” University of Toronto Quarterly 17 (July 1948): 346–60.

Abstract: “Milton is the last great Christian poet until Gerard Manley Hopkins. Between these two there are poets of stature who are Christian, but there are no Christian poets of stature. It would seem that Milton failed to transmit his most deeply felt values. This has been generally assumed. Such a view, however, is only superficially true. It fails to take proper account of the untraditional nature of Milton’s theology and of the aesthetic consequences of his highly individual religiosity. For while Milton comes at the end of the universal Christian culture and preserves much from the medieval heritage (as from the more recent orthodoxy of the Reformation) it is also true that Milton projects into the secular culture which succeeds him, values and techniques which already in his most characteristic work contradict and repudiate significant aspects of the traditional Christian aesthetic.”
