The book explores the longstanding debate in Milton studies regarding the poet's alignment, with one camp viewing him as aligned with the devil and the other with divine forces. Stanley Fish's work reconciles these opposing views by proposing that "Paradise Lost" reflects the transformation of its readers, explaining their divided responses. Three decades later, the discussions initiated in this analysis remain influential, shaping ongoing debates in literary criticism and interpretation of Milton's work.
