First published in 1986, this title critiques the canonical view of
Milton as an isolated Great Man, and reassesses the impact of the
Puritan Revolution on two of his major works: the Areopagitica and
Paradise Lost. The study focuses on the emergence of a discreet
ethical framework of thought within the dominant theological code
of these two works, arguing that this framework - integral to
Protestantism - is also crucial to the construction of subjectivity
under capitalism. Through an analysis of the rhetorical strategies
of the Areopagitica and the generic composition of Paradise Lost,
Christopher Kendrick demonstrates that Milton's 'individualism'
both affirms the success of the Puritan Revolution and also exposes
the contradictions between the capitalist subject's ethical freedom
and the world of necessity of which that freedom is part.
