Reihe: Princeton Legacy Library

Combining historical scholarship with literary criticism, James Freeman provides a comprehensive study of the pro-war tradition that dominated Renaissance thought and of John Milton's rejection of that tradition in Paradise Lost.

Originally published in 1981.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
