Agrippa d'Aubigné. Le corps de Jézabel

Renaissance et Réforme / 341 not realised.The traditional model of human consciousness, rational soul with erected wit and infected will, not hegemonic, not an actor but an instrument in the drama of damnation.For all these reservations, there are many interesting and enriching perceptions in this study, beginning with analysis if Satan's "calumnious art of counterfeited truth".Especially useful are the survey of the nature of pre-lapsarian language and its post-lapsarian future (88-89), human language after the Fall (90-100), the Son's response to Adam (100-1 16), and the whole chapter on Paradise Regained.Leonard Mustazza focuses our attention on a topic of undoubted importance to readers of Milton and he guides us through text and critical discourse with an interesting and often valuable commentary
