Uncloistered Virtue studies the relationship between literature and
the political crises of the English Civil War. It explores the ways
in which the literary culture of the period changed and survived in
radically shifting circumstances and conditions of sometimes
extreme adversity, and examines the ways in which old forms
developed and new forms emerged to articulate new ideologies and to
respond to triumphs and disasters. Included in the book's
discussion of a very wide range of authors and texts are
examinations of the Cavalier love poetry of Herrick and Lovelace,
Herrick's religious verse, the polemical strategies of Eikon
Basilike, and the complexities of Cowley's political verse. The
author also provides an important new account of Marvell's
political instability, while the prose of Lilburne, Winstanley, and
the Ranters is the subject of a long and sustained account which
focuses on their sometimes exhilarating attempts to find an idiom
for ideologies which previously had been unexpressed in English
political life. Through the whole study runs a detailed engagement
with Milton's political prose, and the book ends with a
consideration of the impact of the Civil War and related events on
the English literary tradition, specifically on Rochester, Bunyan,
and the later writing of Milton.
