Milton In America by Peter Ackroyd
In an imaginative reimagining of history, the narrative follows the esteemed poet John Milton as he embarks on a fictional journey to the New World, seeking refuge from the political turmoil of 17th-century England. Upon arriving in the American colonies, Milton becomes a leader of a Puritan settlement, where his ideals and visions for a utopian society are tested against the harsh realities of the wilderness and the diverse beliefs of the settlers. As he grapples with the challenges of leadership and the complexities of human nature, the story explores themes of freedom, faith, and the pursuit of an ideal society.
