Summary: The commercial revolution of the seventeenth century deeply changed English culture. This book explores what that economic transformation meant to the century's greatest poet, John Milton, and to the broader literary tradition in which he worked. The book places Milton's work - as well as the writings of contemporary reformers like the Levellers, poets like John Dryden, and political economists like Sir William Petty - within the framework of England's economic history between 1601 and 1724.
