"The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost'" by Thomas Nathaniel Orchard is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the astronomical themes present in John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," exploring the intersection of literature and astronomy during the 17th century, particularly in relation to the knowledge and theories of that era that influenced Milton's writing. The opening of the book begins with a transcriber’s note and moves into a preface where the author expresses his intent to explore Milton's astronomical references within the poem. Orchard acknowledges the contributions of various astronomers and literature scholars who have influenced his understanding of astronomical concepts. The first chapter sets the stage with a historical overview of astronomy, outlining its development from ancient to modern times, touching on significant figures such as Copernicus, Kepler, and Tycho Brahé. It emphasizes the sublime beauty and complexity of the cosmos and reflects on humanity's long-standing fascination with celestial bodies, thus establishing the foundation for analyzing Milton's work through the lens of contemporary astronomical knowledge.
