 Title:  Milton's Angels  
 Published:  1997 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: IN an article on the Plan of Paradise Lost, published in this periodical, March, 1883, the writer had occasion to speak of certain characteristics of Milton's supernatural beings. A systematic account of these beings did not come within the scope of that paper, but the interest of the subject may perhaps make its separate treatment from a new standpoint not unwelcome. Other writers have considered Milton's angels mainly as products of literary art; I wish to examine them as products of thought, giving attention to the inner meaning rather than to the outward form. Convinced that there has already been too much unintelligent criticism, I venture upon the far more difficult and in some respects perilous task of interpretation. With little to say about the soundness or the propriety of the poet's methods and opinions, I shall content myself with inquiring what they are.
