Free Download David Boocker, "Milton Reinvented: Cultural Reception in 19th-Century America and ‘Our Day’"
English | ISBN: 3031739582 | 2024 | 173 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book focuses on the cultural reception of Milton and his works in nineteenth-century America. Using reception theory, the work analyzes the contributions of Milton and his writings to demonstrate how major social movements appropriated him in ways that "reinvent" him, making him what Margaret Fuller called "emphatically American." The book centers on Milton’s influence on the movements focused on the development of American Christianity, abolition, and women’s suffrage. Each group approaches his writings with different "horizons of expectations" determined, in part, by the social problems they address. Each has unique ways of disseminating and consuming information about Milton and his writings, sometimes determined by how readers in different geographical locations read him. And, each debate makes extensive use of American periodicals of the period, revealing critical information about how Milton’s writings were disseminated and deployed. Milton’s presence in these debates helped shape American society at the time and provides proof for us of how Milton can remain relevant in the issues faced by Americans in ‘our day.’

Discover the supernatural journey of Milton Green, a man who went from the depths of despair to the heights of spiritual victory. Milton was scraping the bottom of the barrel-lost in a world of drugs, alcohol, mental institutions, and suicidal thoughts. In his darkest moment, he cried out to Jesus, and his life was transformed.
Milton’s story is a beacon of hope for all those trapped in the clutches of the world. His miraculous turnaround led him to preach the Gospel, where he witnessed countless souls being saved, healed, and delivered. One of his most notable deliverances was that of the young and successful evangelist, James Robinson, who experienced a glorious breakthrough after Milton’s fervent prayers.

English | ASIN: B0D9R98MYJ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:26:00 | 205 MB
On his death in the autumn of 2006, Milton Friedman was lauded as "the grandmaster of free-market economic theory in the postwar era" by the New York Times and "the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century" by the Economist. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1976, Friedman was both a highly respected economist and a prominent public intellectual, the leader of a revolution in economic and political thought that argued robustly in favor of virtues of free markets and laissez-faire policies.
Milton Friedman on Economics: Selected Papers collects a variety of Friedman’s papers on topics in economics that were originally published in the Journal of Political Economy. Opening with Friedman’s 1977 Nobel Lecture, the volume spans nearly the whole of his career, incorporating papers from as early as 1948 and as late as 1990. An excellent introduction to Friedman’s economic thought, Milton Friedman will be essential for anyone tracing the course of twentieth-century economics and politics.

Free Download Tess Somervell, "Reading Time in the Long Poem: Milton, Thomson and Wordsworth"
English | ISBN: 1474486134 | 2022 | 248 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Reading Time tells the story of the long poem in the long eighteenth century as it navigated between narrative and description, progress and digression, and time and space. The long poem emerged, between 1660 and 1850, as a medium in which poets could shape and reshape time. Analysing Milton’s Paradise Lost, Thomson’s The Seasons and Wordsworth’s The Prelude, this study reveals how these poets used both the content and form of their long poems to intervene in contemporary debates about the temporalities of free will, nature and identity. Reading Time argues that they use the figure of the prospect, the extended landscape, to imagine time as a space onto which different causal configurations could be mapped. In turn, readers have approached these poems as both temporal and spatial forms, as linear processes and as static structures, demonstrating how the long poem can shape a reader’s own experience of time.

Free Download Maggie Kilgour, "Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0199589437, 0198717121 | PDF | pages: 398 | 2.4 mb
Milton and the Metamorphosis of Ovid contributes to our understanding of the Roman poet Ovid, the Renaissance writer Milton, and more broadly the transmission and transformation of classical traditions through history. It examines the ways in which Milton drew on Ovid’s oeuvre, as well as the long tradition of reception that had begun with Ovid himself, and argues that Ovid’s revision of the past, and especially his relation to Virgil, gave Renaissance writers a model for their own transformation of classical works. Throughout his career Milton thinks through and with Ovid, whose stories and figures inform his exploration of the limits and possibilities of creativity, change, and freedom.

English | ISBN: 1501346830 | 2020 | 176 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In 1972, a group of creative Brazilian musicians and poets informally led by singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento recorded a landmark double-LP titled Clube da Esquina (Corner Club). The album saw highly original songs by Milton, already an award-winning international star, sharing vinyl with those of Lô Borges, an unknown eighteen-year-old from Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais. There, where the street "corner" still exists, grew their collective also known as the Corner Club, as the artists collaborated on many subsequent albums boasting innovative blends of pop, jazz, rock, folk, classical influences, and, before Brazil’s return to civilian rule in 1985, poignant protest songs aimed at a cruel dictatorship.

Free Download Barbarous dissonance and images of voice in Milton’s epics By Sauer, Elizabeth M.; Milton, John
1996 | 213 Pages | ISBN: 0773514287 | PDF | 13 MB
Sauer investigates the texts’ discursive practices and the politics of their orchestration of voice exploring the ways in which Milton’s multivocal poems interrogated dominant structures of authority in the seventeenth century and constructed in their place a community of voices characterized by dissonances. She incorporates different critical responses to Milton’s texts into her argument as a way of contextualizing her own historically engaged approach. By injecting concepts such as multiple narrators and genres, open forms, strategic deferrals, and the exchanges between the poetic voices and discourses of the early modern period, Sauer tells us something about how the poems spoke to their own time as well as how they may be recuperated to speak to ours
