🔴 📖 Radical struggles and revolution: The book unearthing the subversive history of Paradise Lost

"Milton may personify the pale, male and stale hegemony of the English poetic tradition, but the story of his poem is one of new ways of thinking, of new societies being forged, of old orders being overturned – and it begins at the moment of England’s own revolution, with the overthrow of Charles I in 1649."
