Childbirth in seventeenth-century England was associated with fear, suffering and death, and this melancholy preoccupation found its most articulate expression in John Milton's poetry. This landmark study examines the impact of maternal mortality on Milton's life and work, and provides important readings of his major poems, including Paradise Lost.
