Civil Idolatry : Desacralizing and Monarchy in Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton Hardback

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

This work discusses important texts that scrutinize the cult of monarchy in light of the injunction against idolatry.

When Milton deplored the civil kind of idolatry, he echoed a significant theme in earlier texts -- Erasmus's political writings, Spenser, and Shakespeare's political plays.

Milton redefines conquest and fatherhood in response to contemporary monarchists' patriarchalism and conquest-theory.
