Miltonic (mil-TON-ik) adjective, also Miltonian
1. Of or pertaining to the poet Milton or his writings.
2. Resembling Milton's majestic style.
[After John Milton (1608-1674).]
"Siphoning off the grandeur of his Miltonic inspiration and transfusing
it with foggily redundant obscenities, Lord-Wolff denatures evil into
sniggering adolescent angst."
Sybil Steinberg, Forecasts: Fiction, Publishers Weekly, Dec 20, 1999.
This week's theme: eponyms, or words coined after people's names.
