Description

Remarkable reinterpretation of Milton and his poetry by one of the most famous historians of the seventeenth century

In this remarkable book Christopher Hill used the learning gathered in a lifetime's study of seventeenth-century England to carry out a major reassessment of Milton as man, politician, poet, and religious thinker. The result is a Milton very different from most popular representations: instead of a gloomy, sexless Puritan, we have a dashingly thinker, branded with the contemporary reputation of a libertine.
