Milton Considered As A Political Writer (1882)

Milton Considered As A Political Writer is a book written by Heinrich Schmidt and first published in 1882. The book is a detailed analysis of the political views and writings of John Milton, a 17th-century English poet, polemicist, and political thinker. Schmidt examines Milton's major works, including his prose tracts and his epic poem Paradise Lost, and argues that Milton's political thought was deeply influenced by his religious beliefs and his commitment to republican ideals. The book explores Milton's views on a wide range of political issues, including the nature of government, the role of the citizen, and the relationship between church and state. Schmidt also provides a historical context for Milton's ideas, discussing the political and religious conflicts of the 17th century that shaped his thinking. Milton Considered As A Political Writer is a seminal work of scholarship on Milton and his political thought, and remains an important reference for scholars of English literature and political theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
