Abstract

John Milton’s Paradise Lost witnesses an ecological awareness informing its representation of Eden, where the wild vitality of plants gives Adam and Eve the chance to tend the Garden and to cultivate their household skills and social virtues. The article focuses on their different relationship to the wildness of the earthly paradise as an interdisciplinary subject that brings into conversation Milton’s vitalist philosophy with environmental ethics.
