Milton (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1986, this title critiques the canonical view of Milton as an isolated Great Man, and reassesses the impact of the Puritan Revolution on two of his major works: the Areopagitica and Paradise Lost. The study focuses on the emergence of a discreet ethical framework of thought within the dominant theological code of these two works, arguing that this framework ¿ integral to Protestantism ¿ is also crucial to the construction of subjectivity under capitalism.
