Synopsis

This book offers a guide to Milton's political writings and his role as a controversialist during the English Civil War. An overview of Milton's personal history, religious beliefs, and time spent traveling abroad helps the reader understand the background and influences that shaped his writings. The author argues that Milton's devotion to expressing his personal beliefs and his moral compass made him a prolific writer on politics. However, these traits led to clashes with the Presbyterians, who silenced and marginalized Milton within the church. Through his writing, Milton goes on to defend the dethronement of Charles I, argue for the abolition of the monarchy, and espouse religious freedom, eloquently expressing the ideas of sectarian groups.
