Abstract
The opening of book 11 in Paradise Lost finds Adam and Eve engaged in penitent prayer. Myers explores the subtle interplay of echoed words and phrases, which serve to highlight the paradoxical unity of divine grace and human freedom in salvation. He notes that a richly ironic interplay of verbal echoes and allusions illustrates the two sides of regeneration: the divine initiative and the free human response.
