Is Milton Better than Shakespeare?
Nigel Smith
Smith makes a compelling case for Milton’s relevance to our present situation. In direct, accessible terms, he shows how the 17th-century poet, working to write the greatest heroic poem in the English language, also managed to theorize about religious, political, and civil liberty in ways that matter as much today as they did in Puritanical times.
