520    Although Milton's three major poems, Paradise Lost, 
       Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes, appeared well 
       into the Restoration era, they have long been regarded as 
       belonging philosophically to the earlier seventeenth 
       century. The canonical view is of Milton as a relic in the
       Restoration - either belated humanist or belated Puritan. 
       Addressing this long-standing anomaly of literary history,
       Historicizing Milton shows how Milton's major poems 
       respond specifically and powerfully to royalist spectacles
       of the 1660s and 1670s, spectacles that were intended as 
       displays of divinely approved monarchical power. Laura 
       Lunger Knoppers traces such public spectacles as the 
       execution of the regicides, the exhumation of Cromwell, 
       the punishment of fifth monarchists, and the coronation 
       triumph of Charles II. Drawing on a range of sources, 
       including letters, diaries, newspaper accounts, sermons, 
       royal proclamations, and parliamentary accounts, Knoppers 
       reconstructs the discourses that interpreted and contested
       spectacles of power and punishment. Milton's poems are 
       part of this oppositional discourse, Knoppers argues, and 
       his revisions of such key terms as martyrdom, treason, joy,
       glory, and conquest boldly and defiantly challenge the 
       spectacles by which the monarchy constituted and conveyed 
       its power. Questioning the nature of earthly spectacle 
       altogether, Milton rewrites display as inner witness 
       before God alone. His radically iconoclastic art creates a
       mode of antispectacle, not only exposing but also 
       redefining and appropriating the spectacles of state.
