- Full title :John Milton : the self and the world / John T. Shawcross.
Summary
This biography combines the traditional chronological narrative with a technique akin to that of fiction, "a mixture of times and a triggering of remembreances." It examines two current concerns, gender attitudes and political ideologies, ranging Milton's work against the self he exhibits.
