The Constant Meanwhile: Simultaneity and Revision in Paradise Lost

Panel: 
English Literature (to 1700) II: Timescapes and Landscapes
Abstract: 

I examine representations of simultaneity in the timescape of Paradise Lost, arguing that the availability of each moment for narrative revision—necessary for the narration of simultaneous events—performed important work for Milton in the context of an abandoned revolution.
