Milton and gender /

Milton's contempt for women has been accepted as fact by many critics. This book re-evaluates this claim by analysing his major poems, his four divorce tracts, and the responses of female readers. Together, these essays provide a fresh perspective on all aspects of gender in Milton's work.
