Abstract:Milton’s primary purpose in The Readie and Easie Way, like Raphael’s in Paradise Lost, is to leave his primary audience without excuse when it inevitably falls. Recognizing this parallel stabilizes the tract from two important perspectives. First, if Milton is to leave the English people without excuse, the polemicist, as Raphael for Adam, must provide astute, practical political advice, even though he knows that his audience will disregard it. Second, it clarifies why Milton published his blueprint for a sustainable commonwealth when it was clearly too late.
期刊介绍:
SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
