Synopsis The New England Milton by : K. P. Van Anglen
The New England Milton concentrates on the poet's place in the writings of the Unitarians and the Transcendentalists, especially Emerson, Thoreau, William Ellery Channing, Jones Very, Margaret Fuller, and Theodore Parker, and demonstrates that his reception by both groups was a function of their response as members of the New England elite to older and broader sociopolitical tensions in Yankee culture as it underwent the process of modernization. For Milton and his writings (particularly Paradise Lost) were themselves early manifestations of the continuing crisis of authority that later afflicted the dominant class and professions in Boston; and so, the Unitarian Milton, like the Milton of Emerson's lectures or Thoreau's Walden, quite naturally became the vehicle for literary attempts by these authors to resolve the ideological contradictions they had inherited from the Puritan past.

Synopsis The New England Milton by : Kevin Van Anglen
Scholars who seek the roots of Milton's influence in the early republic will have in one volume precisely the kind of information they need. And those who wish to understand Milton's place among the American Romantics more generally will find here] fine chapters on Emerson, Thoreau, and the other Transcendentalists. This book will have wide appeal among Miltonists and people in American literature, but even more so for those who wish to be stimulated to reconsider transatlantic literary culture.-Philip F. Gura, University of North Carolina"Van Anglen has written a fascinating chapter in New England literary sociology, revealing] how early nineteenth-century New England used the poetry, example, and person of Milton to solve the problem of authority. The author knows the material thoroughly. His scholarship is inclusive and up-to-date. This is a solid achievement."-Robert D. Richardson, Wesleyan UniversityThe New England Milton concentrates on the poet's place in the writings of the Unitarians and the Transcendentalists, especially Emerson, Thoreau, William Ellery Channing, Jones Very, Margaret Fuller, and Theodore Parker, and demonstrates that his reception by both groups was a function of their response as members of the New England elite to older and broader socio-political tensions in Yankee culture as it underwent the process of modernization.

Synopsis The Poetics and Politics of Youth in Milton's England by : Blaine Greteman
As the notion of government by consent took hold in early modern England, many authors used childhood and maturity to address contentious questions of political representation - about who has a voice and who can speak on his or her own behalf. For John Milton, Ben Jonson, William Prynne, Thomas Hobbes and others, the period between infancy and adulthood became a site of intense scrutiny, especially as they examined the role of a literary education in turning children into political actors. Drawing on new archival evidence, Blaine Greteman argues that coming of age in the seventeenth century was a uniquely political act. His study makes a compelling case for understanding childhood as a decisive factor in debates over consent, autonomy and political voice, and will offer graduate students and scholars a new perspective on the emergence of apolitical children's literature in the eighteenth century.

Synopsis Milton by : Anthony Mitchell Sammarco
Nestled between the Neponset River and the Blue Hills Reservation is the postcard-perfect New England town of Milton, Massachusetts. Founded in 1640, its gentle riverbanks were soon transformed by some of the first mills in the colonies, and later an industrial boom drew tides of immigrants from across the seas. Local author and noted historian Anthony Sammarco brings together a fascinating collection of his best columns from the Milton Times to chronicle the remarkable history of Milton. With stories of extraordinary residents such as the physician and artist Dr. William Rimmer and tales of local innovations such as the Granite Railway, Sammarco charts the evolution of this prominent town.

Synopsis Milton and the Making of Paradise Lost by : William Poole
William Poole recounts Milton's life as England’s self-elected national poet and explains how the greatest poem of the English language came to be written. How did a blind man compose this staggeringly complex, intensely visual work? Poole explores how Milton’s life and preoccupations inform the poem itself—its structure, content, and meaning.
