ESSAY ON: Milton/Social Critique

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: A 10 page research paper that examines the social critique in Milton's Paradise Lost and Comus. The writer argues that to fully appreciate Milton's social perspective, one has consider the historical context of seventeenth century England. Comus was written early in Milton's career in 1634 and reflects his Puritan orientation towards what he perceived as Cavalier licentiousness (Lewalski 56). The backdrop for Paradise Lost is the declining years of the English republic and the beginning of the Restoration. Examination of these texts demonstrates how Milton hid a subversive, politically-oriented message within both of these works. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
