Catherine Gimelli Martin

Milton among the Puritans (eBook, PDF)

The Case for Historical Revisionism

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A radical reassessment of Milton's religious identity, Milton among the Puritans challenges many received ideas about Milton's brand of Christianity, philosophy, and poetry. Surveying the largely secular provenance of so much of Milton's thought, Catherine Martin clearly demonstrates that received ideas about the "Puritan Milton" are neither as well-established as most scholars believe, nor as historically defensible as most literary critics still assume.
