Essays discuss the work of Defoe, Milton, Marvell, Pepys, and Butler, censorship, and seventeenth-century British thought
"Everything Christopher Hill has to say about the literature or the politics of the seventeenth century is valuable. He spins off books for lesser scholars with every other sentence. In this collection of essays alone he has written the best essay I have read on censorship in the century, and the best on the religion and politics of Robinson Crusoe, and Samuel Pepys, and just about anyone else he chooses to write about."--Milton Quarterly.
In this remarkable book Christopher Hill used the learning gathered in a lifetime's study of seventeenth-century England to carry out a major reassessment of Milton as man, politician, poet, and religious thinker. The result is a Milton very different from most popular representations: instead of a gloomy, sexless "Puritan", we have a dashingly thinker, branded with the contemporary reputation of a libertine.
A classic account of the English Revolution by an acclaimed historian. Each essay approaches the subject from a different angle, looking at aspects of the revolution in conjunction with a lively sympathy for the men who lived in that tumultuous time.
