John Milton lived at a time when English nationalism became
entangled with principles and policies of cultural, religious, and
ethnic tolerance. Combining political theory with close readings of
key texts, this study examines how Milton's polemical and
imaginative literature intersects with representations of English
Protestant nationhood. Through detailed case studies of Milton's
works, Elizabeth Sauer charts the fluctuating narrative of Milton's
literary engagements in relation to social, political, and
philosophical themes such as ecclesiology, exclusionism, Irish
alterity, natural law, disestablishment, geography, and
intermarriage. In so doing, Sauer shows the extent to which
nationhood and toleration can be subjected to literary and
historicist inquiry. Her study makes a salient contribution to
Milton studies and to scholarship on early modern literature and
the development of the early nation-state.
