David Loewenstein's Representing Revolution in Milton and his
Contemporaries is a wide-ranging exploration of the interactions of
literature, polemics and religious politics in the English
Revolution. Loewenstein highlights the powerful spiritual beliefs
and religious ideologies in the polemical struggles of Milton,
Marvell and their radical Puritan contemporaries during these
revolutionary decades. By examining a wide range of canonical and
non-canonical writers - John Lilburne, Winstanley the Digger and
Milton, amongst others - he reveals how radical Puritans struggled
with the contradictions and ambiguities of the English Revolution
and its political regimes. His portrait of a faction-riven, violent
seventeenth-century revolutionary culture is an original and
significant contribution to our understanding of these turbulent
decades and their aftermath. By placing Milton's great poems in the
context of the period's radical religious politics, it should be of
interest to historians as well as literary scholars.
