Divided Empire: Milton's Political Imagery

by Robert Thomas Fallon

"Fallon cites numerous parallels between passages in Milton's poetry and actual rulers, political structures, and public events that the poet would have known. He makes the case that knowledge gained from firsthand experience shaped Milton's poetic imagery and diction.... He reveals a highly original direction for study of the major poems and provides a fresh perspective on Milton's poetic". -- Choice
