Description
Milton's writings have long been subject to debate about their feminist credentials. This book offers a fresh perspective on this issue by examining his major poems and divorce tracts, as well as the responses of female readers who engaged with his work. Catherine Gimelli Martin explores the complexities of Milton's views on women, including his advocacy for "divorce on demand" for men. By analyzing these texts alongside the writings of lesser-known female artists and revolutionaries, Martin sheds new light on the ways in which Milton's ideas about gender were received and reinterpreted by women over time. This book provides a nuanced understanding of Milton's place within the broader history of feminist thought, and offers insights into the ongoing relevance of his ideas for contemporary debates about gender and relationships.
