John Milton - heretic, defender of the Cromwellian regicides, epic
poet - holds a crucial strategic position on the intellectual and
ideological map of literary studies. In this provocative and
liberating study, John P. Rumrich contends that contemporary
critics, despite differences in methodology, have contributed to
the invention of a monolithic or institutional Milton, as
censorious preacher, aggressive misogynist, and champion of the
emerging bourgeoisie. Rumrich reveals the pressures that have
shaped this current critical orthodoxy, and exposes the historical
inaccuracies and logical inconsistencies that sustain it. Through
analysis of Milton's poetry and prose, and consideration of the
historical forces that informed Milton's writing, Rumrich argues
instead for a more complex Milton who was able to accommodate
uncertainty and doubt.
