  1. 1. Queer Milton

    Sexuality and Libertinism in the Seventeenth Century

    This scholarly work delves into the intricate intersections of sexuality, gender, and identity within the writings of a renowned 17th-century poet. Through a queer theoretical lens, the text reinterprets the poet's major works, exploring themes of desire, non-normative relationships, and the fluidity of identity. The analysis challenges traditional readings, offering fresh insights into the poet's engagement with the cultural and social norms of his time, and highlighting the enduring relevance of these themes in contemporary discussions of queerness.
