Lyric Apocalypse: Milton, Marvell, and the Nature of Events by Ryan Netzley (Eng

Description: Lyric Apocalypse by Ryan Netzley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description How can one experience the apocalypse in the present? Lyric Apocalypse argues that John Miltons and Andrew Marvells lyrics depict revelation as an immediately perceptible event. In so doing, their lyrics explore the nature of events, the modern question of what it means for something to happen in the present. Publisher Description Whats new about the apocalypse? Revelation does not allow us to look back after the end and enumerate pivotal turning points. It happens in an immediate encounter with the transformatively new.John Miltons and Andrew Marvells lyrics attempt to render the experience of such an apocalyptic change in the present. In this respect they take seriously the Reformations insistence that eschatology is a historical phenomenon. Yet these poets are also reacting to the Regicide, and, as a result, their works explore very modern questions about the nature of events, what it means for a significant historical occasion to happen.Lyric Apocalypse argues that Miltons and Marvells lyrics challenge any retrospective understanding of events, including one built on a theory of revolution. Instead, these poems show that there is no "after" to the apocalypse, that if we are going to talk about change, we should do so in the present, when there is still time to do something about it. For both of these poets, lyric becomes a way to imagine an apocalyptic event that would be both hopeful and new.
