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. 606 $aCommerce in literature 606 $aEconomics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEconomics in literature 615 0$aCommerce in literature. 615 0$aEconomics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEconomics in literature. 676 $a821/.4 686 $aHK 2575$2rvk 700 $aHoxby$b Blair$f1966-$01175759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777852303321 996 $aMammon's music$93845518 997 $aUNINA
