- W2492513423 abstract "This chapter proposes a feminist and ecofeminist intervention of sorts that rethinks key moments of dialogue with/about Nature in Milton’s Paradise Lost in order to yield new ways to read Eve’s place in Milton’s Eden. Near the end of his temptation of Eve in Book 9, Satan addresses the “Mother of Science,” but to whom is Satan speaking? At least since 1968, the scholarly tradition has been to read this moment as an apostrophe to the Tree of Knowledge—since it is a “Wisdom-giving Plant” to whom Satan appears to speak, and because the word “science” suggests sapience or knowledge—but what if the recipient of Satan’s words is more ambiguous?1 After all, is it not just as possible that Eve is a figurative “Plant” as it is that the Tree (or its fruit) is a figurative “Mother”? And the lines in question appear in the middle of a dialogue between Satan and Eve and are immediately followed by lines clearly addressed to Eve, not the Tree. Satan’s final attempt to compromise her, in fact, contributes to the ambiguity inherent in this moment, as he seems to conflate Eve and the Tree: So standing, moving, or to highth upgrownThe Tempter all impassion’d thus began.O Sacred, Wise, and Wisdom-giving Plant,Mother of Science, now I feel thy PowerWithin me clear, not only to discernThings in their causes, but to trace the waysOf highest agents, deemed however wise.Queen of this Universe, do not believeThose rigid threats of Death; ye shall not Die. (9. 678–85)." @default.
