摘　　要：在牛津版《十六世纪英国文学史》中,路易斯(C.S.Lewis)有一句著名的评论:"诗歌与修辞在现代被视为两种不同的形式,但对于文艺复兴时期的作者和读者而言,这种区分毫无意义。"(1)他甚至暗示,文艺复兴与当代英国文学感受力(sensibility)之间的最大不同,或许就在于修辞学品味。对于诗歌和修辞在现代的分裂,其中的关键问题需要进一步澄清。Why does Book 2 of Paradise Lost devote so much attention to the depiction of demonic deliberative persuasion? I propose that the passage dramatizes the political paradoxes that arise from the attempt to limit deliberations about the public good to matters of instrumental judgment. The argument first outlines what I mean by "rhetorical reading." In doing this, I also suggest how Milton’s text, the Art of Logic, bears on such reading practices. The second part of the argument illustrates the kinds of insights regarding Paradise Lost that can arise from such reading practices. Ultimately, the narrative poses for readers not simply the task of discerning the difference between virtue and hypocrisy;rather, it invites readers to imagine how a political discourse might preclude such a distinction from even appearing.
