Throughout his writings, Milton, deeply engaged in political and
theological controversy, sought to clear a space for human freedom
in a world ruled by an omniscient and omnipotent deity. Paradise
Lost and Samson Agonistes, as well as other works by Milton in
verse and prose, explore the problematical aspects of a universe
ruled by an Old Testament God of wrath, demanding obedience, who
allows his creatures the freedom to be 'authors' of their own fate.
Milton and the Burden of Freedom examines the contradictions
inherent in Milton's religious, political, and ethical beliefs as
expressed in his poems, prose writings, and the treatise De
Doctrina Christiana. Milton, whose writings are rooted in the
Reformed tradition while challenging Calvinist orthodoxy, is both
radical and conservative. In this book, Warren Chernaik traces the
evolution of Milton's attitude towards freedom, servitude and
virtue during a century of political upheaval and disappointed
hopes.
