John Milton's epic, Paradise Lost, is illuminated by seventeenth-century theological writings--commentaries on Revelation by Joseph Mede and by David Pareus and selected sermons on prophetic texts--that set forth an eschatological poetics of structure, symbolism, and grammar. Milton knew the commentaries, which discuss (1) what Mede calls "synchronisme" and Pareus parallelism, and (2) what this study calls temporal conflation. These biblical forms of narrative disruption of the actual chronological sequence of events convey eschatological significance, in the sense of apocalyptic events that end history and in a more modern sense of realized eschatology, or partial present fulfillment of prophecy.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a John Milton's epic, Paradise Lost, is illuminated by seventeenth-century theological writings--commentaries on Revelation by Joseph Mede and by David Pareus and selected sermons on prophetic texts--that set forth an eschatological poetics of structure, symbolism, and grammar. Milton knew the commentaries, which discuss (1) what Mede calls "synchronisme" and Pareus parallelism, and (2) what this study calls temporal conflation. These biblical forms of narrative disruption of the actual chronological sequence of events convey eschatological significance, in the sense of apocalyptic events that end history and in a more modern sense of realized eschatology, or partial present fulfillment of prophecy.
520 $a Written at a moment of failure of apocalyptic expectation, the epic about loss of Paradise is also an eschatological prophecy, and a history, of its restoration. History becomes prophecy, and prophecy history. Cosmic beginnings are depicted in an eschatological light, and the here and now is defined as the beginning and the end, the day of salvation, day of judgment, and day of the Lord. Prophetic fulfillment is both christological and spiritual (the "paradise within"). But the relation between prophetic symbol and its fulfillment in history or Church is often not discernible, an agnosticism with regard to historicism, millennialism, and apocalypticism. Paradise Lost asserts divine providence yet acknowledges human doubt and freedom.
520 $a Chapter one places eschatological poetics within a context of classical and Renaissance concepts of narrative. Chapter two shows the commentaries to combine the two strands of Revelation exegesis, historicist and allegorical-spiritual. Chapter three discusses some modern concepts of realized eschatology and thirteen theologically-diverse seventeenth-century sermons concerned with eschatological poetics.
520 $a Chapter four considers Milton's concepts of beginnings and of eschatology in selected prose, and eschatological poetics in the early poem, the Nativity Ode. Final chapters examine four sections of Paradise Lost approximating synchronism and temporal conflation. Characterized by anachronism, repetition, substitution, and inclusiveness, they are interspersed with the chronological fall narrative. Particularly striking features are verb tense shifts and substitutions, repeated symbols of similar actions, and eschatological shaping of conventional epic unity of action, flashback, prophecy, invocation, beginning in the midst of things, and representation of simultaneity.
