- This 288-page monograph is the outcome of sustained research into several fields– including classical/renaissance rhetoric, all of Milton’s poetry and polemical prose works, and the political-theory of Hannah Arendt. Inherently interdisciplinary in its approach, the book is the result of fifteen years of archival, critical and secondary research, offering numerous critical insights and a complex, extended argument. The historical and literary contexts are explored to interrogate the full corpus of Milton, and materials drawn from UK and US archives. Among themes investigated in considerable depth are Arendtian/Habermasian-public-speech, classical/renaissance citizenship, classical oratory/renaissance poetry, Miltonic intertextuality (e.g. Shakespeare, Spenser), genre and gender.
