Trade Review
'Hands down the most beautiful Milton book in recent years, Looking into Providences also provides the best justification for Milton's coupling of Genesis and Revelation in hisepic: it's all about Providence.' -- Joseph Wittreich Renaissance Quarterly vol 66:04:2013 'Waddington's book is brilliantly alive to the complexities of its subject... He is illuminating and mysteriously fresh - qualities we have come to expect from this thought-provoking study.' -- David Carroll Simon Modern Philology vol 112:01:2014 'Thoughtful and penetrating study.' -- Philip Major Review of English Studies vol 65:269:2014 'Meticulous in its scholarship and stunning in its breadth and critical alertness, this book makes an original and major contribution to Milton studies in the twenty-first century... A real pleasure to read.' -- Estelle Haan Modern Language Review vol 110:01:2015
