English Identity In The Writings Of John Milton, Hannah E. Ryan
English Identity In The Writings Of John Milton, Hannah E. Ryan
Honors Theses
John Milton is an essential writer to the English canon. Understanding his life and thought is necessary to understanding his corpus. This thesis will examine Milton’s nationalism in several major and minor poems as well as in some of Milton’s prose. It will argue that Milton’s nationalism is difficult to trace chronologically, but that education is always essential to Milton’s national vision of England.
