About the Authors

Drawing upon the expertise of both historians and literary critics, this volume examines the classical sources of Milton's republicanism, the genesis of that republicanism in the 1640s, its disappointment in the 1650s and its presence in his work (particularly in Paradise Lost) after the Restoration.
- First comprehensive treatment of Milton's republicanism
- Pays equal attention to literary works and to works of political thought
- Notable international and interdisciplinary collaboration between historians and literary critics

Reviews & endorsements
'This is a summary of the inconsistent - some might say incoherent - positionings that define Milton's intervention in the affairs and ideals of Interregnum politics. The thirteen essays in the present volume, Milton and Republicanism, make an important contribution to our understanding of the welter of conflict and commitment that is the world of Miltonic politics. This book also stands as the most visible evidence to date of the impact that recent British historians of mid-seventeenth-century England have made on the study, especially among literary scholars, of Milton's poetry and prose.' John Rogers, The Journal of English and Germanic Philology
'Milton and Republicanism … deserves a warm welcome for at last bringing Milton studies fully in contact with … developments in the history of political thought.' David Norbrook, The Times Literary Supplement
