Heirs of Fame: Milton and Writers of the English Renaissance

by Margo Swiss (Editor), David A. Kent (Editor)

Heirs of Milton and Writers of the English Renaissance brings together a dozen essays by recognized scholars of the English Renaissance. Because each essay juxtaposes Milton with another major writer from the period, the volume should contribute to current efforts to place Milton in his historical period and culture. The contextualizing influences considered by the various contributors include politics, biography, Christian exegetical traditions, social and even academic contexts.
