by Shannon Miller INCE C. A. Moore's 1927 essay ``Miltoniana (16791741),'' the thenunattributed Order and Disorder has been compared with Milton's Paradise Lost. Moore refers only to the first five cantos, which were published in 1679, thus explaining his comment that this poem of twenty cantos is ``very small.'' 1 While assuming male authorship of this poem, Moore describes Order and Disorder as ``an imitation'' and ``also a veiled rebuke of Milton.'' 2 David Norbrook's recent attribution of this poem to Lucy Hutchinson and his edition of the poem, previously unavailable in print, is likely to initiate extensive explorations of the interaction between Hutchinson's and Milton's poems; this project has already begun in Norbrook's detailed introduction to the poem.3 Like Milton's Paradise Lost, published in 1667, Lucy Hutchinson's poem takes as its subject the narrative of Genesis and thus considers the event of and the consequences of the Fall. The points of contact between the two writers suggest that comparisons between their work will be fruitful. Like Milton, Hutchinson was both a Puritan and a parliamentary supporter. In fact, her husband had signed Charles I's death warrant, and 1 Moore, ``Miltoniana (16791741),'' Modern Philology 24 (1927): 321. 2
