Описание: Three and a half centuries after Paradise Lost and Paradise Regain`d were written, do Milton`s epic poems still resonate with contemporary concerns? In Milton`s Leveller God, David Williams advances a progressive and democratic interpretation of Milton`s epics to show they are more relevant than ever. Exploring two blind spots in the critical tradition - the failure to read Milton`s poetry as drama and to recognize his depictions of heaven`s political and social evolution - Williams reads Milton`s "great argument" as a rejection of social hierarchy and of patriarchal government that is more attuned to the radical political thought developed by the Levellers during the English Revolution. He traces echoes between Milton`s texts and thousands of pages of Leveller writings that advocated for popular rule, extended suffrage, and religious tolerance, arguing that Milton`s God is still the unacknowledged ground of popular sovereignty. Williams demonstrates that Milton`s Leveller sympathies, expressed in his early prose, conflicted with his official duties for Oliver Cromwell`s government in the 1650s, but his association with the journalist Marchamont Nedham later freed him to imagine an egalitarian republic. In a work that connects the great epic poet in new ways to the politics of his time and our own, Milton`s Leveller God shows how the political landscape of Milton`s work fundamentally unsettles ancient hierarchies of soul and body, man and woman, reason and will, and ruler and ruled.
