Sommario/riassunto

The commercial revolution of the seventeenth century deeply changed English culture. In this ambitious book, Blair Hoxby explores what that economic transformation meant to the century's greatest poet, John Milton, and to the broader literary tradition in which he worked. Hoxby places Milton's work-as well as the writings of contemporary reformers like the Levellers, poets like John Dryden, and political economists like Sir William Petty-within the framework of England's economic history between 1601 and 1724. Literary history swerved in this period, Hoxby demonstrates, as a burgeoning economic discourse pressed authors to reimagine ideas about self, community, and empire. Hoxby shows that, contrary to commonly held views, Milton was a sophisticated economic



thinker. Close readings of Milton's prose and verse reveal the importance of economic ideas in a wide range of his most famous writings, from Areopagitica to Samson Agonistes to Paradise Lost.

Sommario/riassunto

"This insightful Handbook explores the dynamics of historical and contemporary migration flows to China from across its bordering regions, Asia and other continents. It analyzes the social, economic, cultural, and legal developments that arise from migration to China. Leading experts discuss how China has become a key destination for international migration, outlining the resulting diversities within Chinese society. They examine the ways in which migration has been encouraged, tolerated, and contained by Chinese authorities, investigating how policies towards migrants reflect China's evolving position in the global migration order and the development trajectories it follows. The Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of legal and policy changes in the field, demonstrating the connections between immigration policy reforms and broader economic and societal developments. The Handbook on Migration to China is an essential resource for students, scholars, and researchers in Asian politics, policy and development, Chinese studies, migration, and population studies. Interdisciplinary in scope, it will also benefit practitioners and policymakers working in migration, regulation, governance, and public policy"--
