A 1988 study of Milton's preoccupation with origins and how these elude him.
'An original study of a neglected aspect of the poem.' Louis Martz 'This is a brilliant study that quietly but powerfully recharacterizes many of the contexts of discussion in Milton criticism. Particularly noteworthy is Schwartz'a ability to introduce advanced theoretical perspectives without ever taking the focus of attention away from the dynamics and problematics of Milton's poem.' Stanley Fish
