 | Lyric Apocalypse: Milton, Marvell, and the Nature of Events Subjects: Milton John 1608–1674 -- Criticism and interpretation; Marvell Andrew 1621–1678 -- Criticism and interpretation; Apocalyptic literature -- History and criticism; Apocalypse in literature; Revelation in literature; Change in literature; English poetry; How can one experience the apocalypse in the present? Lyric Apocalypse argues that John Milton's and Andrew Marvell's lyrics depict revelation as an immediately perceptible event. In so doing, their lyrics explore the nature of events, the modern question of what it means for something to happen in the present.
