Abstract

The article seeks to broaden the exegetical perspective of the influence of John Milton’s Paradise Lost on Aleixandre’s poemario, trying to analyse possible intertextual reminiscences, beyond the biblical substrate. Particular attention will be given to the embodiment of the trope of the fallen angel and to the paradisiac imagery.
