The commercial revolution of the seventeenth century deeply changed
English culture. In this ambitious book, Blair Hoxby explores what
that economic transformation meant to the century's greatest poet,
John Milton, and to the broader literary tradition in which he
worked. Hoxby places Milton's work-as well as the writings of
contemporary reformers like the Levellers, poets like John Dryden,
and political economists like Sir William Petty-within the
framework of England's economic history between 1601 and 1724.
Literary history swerved in this period, Hoxby demonstrates, as a
burgeoning economic discourse pressed authors to reimagine ideas
about self, community, and empire. Hoxby shows that, contrary to
commonly held views, Milton was a sophisticated economic thinker.
Close readings of Milton's prose and verse reveal the importance of
economic ideas in a wide range of his most famous writings, from
Areopagitica to Samson Agonistes to Paradise Lost.
