Achsah Guibbory's important essay on
Hesperides stands out here, because, while it certainly employs close
formal analysis, its critical methodology is not explication de texte
but historicism: she changes our view of Herrick by expertly locating
the politics of his use of the Hebrew Bible within the religious
controversies of the 1640s. The
presence of Achsah in 1:11-15 functions as a proleptic announcement of
the leading roles that women will subsequently play in Judges. Schwartz; "Literary
Baroque and Literary Neoclassicism," by Graham Parry; "Milton
and English Poetry," by Achsah Guibbory; and "Milton's
English," by Thomas N. |
