Naming in Paradise : Milton and the language of Adam and Eve
The subject of this book is Milton's use of prelapsarian and postlapsarian names and the various ways in which distinctions between them infiltrate "Paradise Lost", both on a small scale and in larger narrative episodes. The author uncovers areas of meaning which have been lost to modern readers.
