What is true liberty? Milton labors to provide an answer, and his
answer becomes the ruling principle behind both prose works and
poetry. The scholarly community has largely read liberty in Milton
retrospectively through the spectacles of liberalism. In so doing,
it has failed to emphasize that the Christian paradigm of liberty
speaks of an inward microcosm, a place of freedom whose precincts
are defined by man's fellowship with God. All other forms of
freedom relate to the outer world, be they freedom to choose the
good, absence of external constraint and oppression, or freedom of
alternatives. None of these is true liberty, but they are pursued
by Milton in concert with true liberty. Milton's Inward Liberty
attempts to address the bearing of true liberty in Milton's work
through the magnifying glass of seventeenth-century theology.
