"Offers new readings of Milton's major works, including Areopagitica, Paradise Lost,
Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes, highlighting how Milton shifts the parlance
of freedom and liberty from the arena of civic order to that of the individual conscience
engaged in the process of choosing; this, in turn, invites readers to consider alternatives
even to Milton's own positions"
