About the Author Jackson Cope is the author of Joseph Glanvill, Anglican Apologist (1956), editor of Joseph Glanvill\'s "Plus Ultra" (1958), and coeditor of Thomas Sprat\'s History of the Royal Society (1958).
To test further the implications of his hypothesis, Cope turns to two unsettled points in Miltonic exegesis: Milton\'s muse and the dialogue in Heaven.
Professor Cope, after discussing the influences that shaped Milton\'s aesthetic, systematically examines the structural components of Paradise Lost--light, darkness, and vertical movement--and finds that they imitate, metaphorically, the overall theme of the epic.
Milton spatialized time, thoroughly mastering a Metaphoric technique.
The rise of Metaphoric criticism is a reaction against a previous critical preoccupation with psychology and time.
