Abstract
- This article discusses the use of the word swan in the literary works of famous author John Milton. In Milton's "Of Reformation," the swan which is referred as socio-cultural marker replaces the swan as literary allusion in the works of Milton. In "A Brief History of Moscovia," Milton also considered swans in the lavish entertainment provided for English guests at the Russian court.
