Milton's Imperial Epic by Richard J. Evans
A concise critical study that reads Milton’s epic as deeply engaged with questions of empire, authority, and political theology in seventeenth‑century England, arguing that the poem reshapes classical epic conventions to negotiate sovereignty, rebellion, colonization, and providential order; the book situates the work in its historical and ideological contexts, examines Milton’s portrayals of leadership, liberty, and imperial ambition, and shows how poetic form and political argument intertwine to produce a complex reflection on power and legitimacy.
