About
My research explores the intersection between Renaissance poetry and the Bible, through contemporary approaches to family, feminist theory and psychoanalysis. My dissertation, completed in 2024 at the University of Haifa, explored the interdependence of familial relationships in John Milton’s Paradise Lost through the lens of Salvador Minuchin’s structural theory of the family. This approach offers a humanistic reading of the epic, consistent with Milton’s monist conception of body and spirit. I am currently expanding this framework by reexamining the literary sources and the symbolic significance of the character of Sin in Milton’s poem
