The Masculinites of John Milton is the first published monograph on
Milton's men. Examining how Milton's fantasies of manly authority
are framed in his major works, this study exposes the gaps between
Milton's pleas for liberty and his assumptions that White men like
himself should rule his culture. From schoolboys teaching each
other how to traffic in young women in the Ludlow Masque, to his
treatises on divorce that make the wife-less husband the best
possible citizen, and to the later epics, in which Milton wrestles
with male small talk and the ladders of masculine social power, his
verse and prose draw from and amplify his culture's claims about
manliness in education, warfare, friendship, citizenship, and
conversation. This revolutionary poet's most famous writings reveal
how ambivalently manhood is constructed to serve itself in early
modern England.
