| dc.description.abstract | Studies on Milton have not attempted to explore his views on native nobility (or gentility) and its association with Galenic humoral theories. This study attempts to fill this gap in Milton criticism, albeit very modestly, by demonstrating that Milton used these blood theories in Samson Agonistes and weaved them in a masterful stroke of syncretism with scriptural traditions. It is safe to assume that without knowledge of these blood theories that were prevalent at his time one may not apprehend all the significance that he attached to nobility based upon Christian principles. It is obvious that there is need for further analysis of his other works, using the approach of this study. | |
