Combining historical scholarship with literary criticism, James Freeman provides a comprehensive study of the pro-war tradition that dominated Renaissance thought and of John Milton’s rejection of that tradition in Paradise Lost.

These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
