Dr Johnson sums up the case against Milton "the want of human interest is always felt" It is the apparent distance of Paradise Lost from ordinary humanity that has thrilled or repelled critics throughout the ages While many readers are carried away by Milton's sublimity others are daunted by his grandeur scope & learning Milton himself declared that he would not begin to write until he had "completed the full circle of my private studies" The Greek word for a circle of learning is the root of "encyclopaedia"; & Milton's erudition is encyclopaedic Paradise Lost draws on both ancient learning & the scholarship of his day displaying not only his deep knowledge of the Bible & Biblical scholarship & his passionate assimilation of the classics but also his absorption in astronomy cosmology geography numerology & science Yet many critics of Paradise Lost argue that all this circling lacks a human centre Who after all is the hero? Adam & Eve in their unfallen state are too remote from us; Christ is not yet incarnate; God cannot be a character Which leaves us with the magnificently problematic figure of Satan In this fascinating study of Milton's great poem Caroline Moore suggests that contrary to what these critics argue the core of Paradise Lost is extraordinarily human Milton himself believed that poetry excelled at describing "the wily subtleties & refluxes of man's thought from within" This is precisely what Paradise Lost does If to a generation raised on the novel Milton's methods of psychological exploration seem strange this only intensifies the effect Paradise Lost is a poem that explores the dark byways & infinite strangeness of the human heart ...

It is hard to find anyone nowadays who will dare venture a bad word on Mrs Dalloway its status as a pioneer feminist text & a brilliantly experimental work is wholly secure At the time of its publication however opinions were more mixed It was hard in the mid-1920s to come to terms with what for many seemed a vexatiously new-fangled work The reading public was not yet ready for the challenge of what came to be called stream of consciousness narrative or the inner richness of a novel whose main event a superficial reading might suggest is an upper-class Conservative politician's wife's purchase of flowers for a summer party This recall in the immediate aftermath of a conflict the First World War which had shaken the whole of Europe to its foundations Before during & after writing Mrs Dalloway Woolf teetered on the edge of mental breakdown & more than once fell into its awful depths & on the edge of the main plot of Mrs Dalloway & its heroine's outwardly serene existence she places Septimus Smith
- a shell-shocked survivor of the Great War who finds peacetime too terrible to continue living in Mrs Dalloway is a novel which provokes thought about the fraught nature of genius literary modernism the ambiguous place of women in English society & literature the infinite complexities of sexual relationships & even the worthwhileness of life itself This book seeks to explore all this & to show that reading Mrs Dalloway can be one of the most rewarding experiences English fiction has to offer

What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind & to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? David J Chalmers unveils a major new theory of consciousness one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind & brain Writing in a thought-provoking style Chalmers proposes that conscious experience must be understood as an irreducible entity similar to such physical properties as time mass & space that exists at a fundamental level & cannot be understood as the sum of its parts Engaging & penetrating this book adds a fresh new perspective to the subject that is sure to spark debate about our understanding of the mind for years to come ...
