blake-378	Rogers, Annise	Brian Russell Graham, Speech Acts in Blake’s “Milton”	2025		.htm	application/xhtml+xml	1402	45	54	Brian Russell Graham expertly examines Milton a Poem through a close reading that engages with performative speech act theory, using it to demonstrate the importance of the characters’ spoken lines and also to explain how the lack of any direct speech can help to bring about, or forestall, the impending apocalypse. Chapter 1 looks at what happens before Milton’s introduction to those characters, covering the Fall and the creation of Time and Space—​all of which, as Graham reveals, come about through performative speech acts.	cache/blake-378.htm	txt/blake-378.txt
