Beskrivning
In this first book devoted to Milton's engagement with Ireland, Lee Morrissey takes an archipelagic approach to his subject. The study focuses on the period before the Cromwellian Conquest, explaining Milton's emergence as a public figure because of Ireland and tracing the paradoxical resonances of Milton's republicanism in Ireland to this day. Informed by developments in Irish history but foregrounding a lucid discussion of Milton's governmental prose works, Morrissey explores the tension between Milton's long-established image as a proto-Enlightenment, democratic figure, and the historical reality of his association with a Protestant invading force. Milton's Ireland incisively negotiates this complex subject, addressing clear absences in Milton scholarship, in the history of Ireland, and in the fraught relationship between Ireland and England.

Recensioner i media

'The story of the Irish dimension of Milton's work, the decades of inter-island conflict unfolding before and during Milton's life, needs to be told, and Lee Morrissey tells it exceptionally well. Milton's Ireland makes valuable inroads into the study of early modern Ireland's cultural plurality, its complex relations to Britain, and the tensions operative in the British Isles (rather than the Atlantic archipelago). In this expertly researched and nuanced investigation, Morrissey also boldly demonstrates how Ireland challenges Milton's sense of Englishness.' Elizabeth Sauer, FRSC, Professor of English, Brock University, Canada
