This study argues that the workings of this Miltonic reciprocity were first understood in concrete specificity by Immanuel Kant, though buried on two intricately argued manuscript pages of his \u003ci\u003eOpus postumum\u003c\/i\u003e. Almost as remarkable as Kant's Miltonic recognitions, William Wordsworth - directly inspired by earlier Kantian ideas of reciprocity and of the sublime - made his own way to this Miltonic poetics of co-existent being, most spectacularly in \u003ci\u003eThe Prelude\u003c\/i\u003e. In this fascinating study, Budick demonstrates how Milton, Kant and Wordsworth together offer a revolutionary understanding of the function of poetry in the quest of human consciousness for participation in being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanford Budick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399541138","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293817045129,"sku":"9781399541138","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d07d6a27-7942-4b40-9b3a-dba102e04f18.jpg?v=1737443558","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/sublime-reciprocity-in-milton-kant-and-wordsworth-light-out-of-darkness-9781399541138","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
