It is distinctly paradoxical that John Milton-who opposed infant baptism, supported regicide, defended divorce and approved of polygamy-should be heard as a voice of orthodoxy. Yet modern scholarship has often understated or explained away his heretical opinions. This collection of essays investigates aspects of his works inconsistent with conventional beliefs, showing how Milton, as poet, thinker and public servant, eschewed dogma and regarded indeterminacy and uncertainty as fundamental to human existence. | Milton And Heresy by Stephen B.
