- Authors
REVARD, STELLA P.
- Abstract
The article, reprinted from an earlier volume of the journal, presents a literary critique of the early modern English drama "Samson Agonistes," by John Milton, focusing on the character of Dalila. Topics addressed include comparisons between Dalila's depiction and the heroines of the Greek playwright Euripides, debate among critics whether Milton's depiction shows anti-feminist views or not, and the specific characteristics of Dalila in Milton's adaptation of the Biblical story.
