This thesis, based on Stephen Greenblatt’s “new historicism” theory, analyzes the images of Adam and Eve from the perspective of the general historical background of the 17th-century England, aiming at exploring the influence of the Renaissance humanism on the depiction of Adam and Eve in Paradise Lost.<strong><em></em></strong></p> ER -
