It is distinctly paradoxical that John Milton - who opposed infant
baptism, supported regicide, defended divorce and approved of
polygamy - should be heard as a voice of orthodoxy. Yet modern
scholarship has often understated or explained away his heretical
opinions. This volume investigates aspects of Milton's works
inconsistent with conventional beliefs, whether in terms of
seventeenth-century theology or the common assumptions of Milton
scholars. Contributors situate Milton and his writings within his
specific historical circumstances, paying special attention to
Milton's pragmatic position within seventeenth-century religious
controversy. The volume's four sections deal with heretical
theology, heresy's consequences, heresy and community, and readers
of heresy; their common premise is that Milton, as poet, thinker
and public servant, eschewed set beliefs and regarded indeterminacy
and uncertainty as fundamental to human existence.
