On July 14th, 1790, a key figure in the French Revolution honoured
Milton as a founding father of the French republic. In the light of
this connection, it was appropriate that the 8th International
Milton Symposium (7-11 June 2005) was held in Grenoble, cradle of
the French Revolution. But the connection of Milton and Rights
takes us well beyond the specific link with France, and the
fascinating selection of essays assembled in this volume, many by
leading Milton scholars, addresses the question in the poetry as
well as the prose. Milton's fervent but changing attitude to
liberties is debated from various points of view, so that the
volume contains essays on topics ranging from the musical
adaptations of Samson Agonistes to its angrily argued parallel with
contemporary terrorism, from air pollution in Paradise Lost to
Milton's supposed Puritanism and putative parallels with a French
pornographer.
