Few early modern poets engaged more fully with their historical
circumstances than John Milton. A pamphleteer, government employee,
and writer of occasional verse, Milton did not retreat from public
life even after his political hopes were dashed by the Restoration.
This volume investigates the various ways in which Milton's works
and experiences emerged from the culture and events of his time. In
a series of concise, engaging essays, an international group of
scholars examines both the social conditions of Milton's life and
the broader intellectual currents that shaped his writings and
reputation. A uniquely wide range of topics is covered: from
biography to translations, from astronomy to philosophy, and from
the English Church to the civil wars. Milton in Context is an
accessible reference work that both students and scholars will turn
to again and again to enrich their understanding of Milton's
writings and his world.
