Sommario/riassunto

How did 'Milton the Regicide', a man often regarded in his lifetime as a dangerous traitor and heretic, become 'the Sublime Milton'? This book uncovers the cultural historical background against which the Romantics and their contemporaries encountered and interacted with Milton's reputation and works.
