The first published book on John Milton's masculinities, this study shows how a revolutionary poet preached liberty yet elevated manly authority. Building on his era's practices of war, education, socialization, and political marriage, Milton's aggressive, ambivalent masculinities are exposed as strategically and emphatically self-serving.
