Description
Explore a provocative scholarly reinterpretation of John Milton's religious beliefs in this Routledge publication by Michael Bryson. The book presents a dual-argument thesis challenging the conventional view of Milton as a Christian poet, instead proposing that he was an atheist based on his documented intellectual positions. Bryson examines Milton's association with Arian theology, which denied the Trinity doctrine, his endorsement of the de Deo creation theory aligned with materialist philosophy of Spinoza and Hobbes, and his Mortalist conviction that the human soul perishes with the body. Through textual analysis and historical context, this work reassesses Milton's theological stance and its implications for understanding his most celebrated literary works. Essential reading for scholars of early modern literature, religious history, and Milton studies seeking to challenge established interpretations.

Key Features

The Atheist Milton by Michael Bryson presents a revisionist argument about John Milton's actual religious convictions versus his public reputation.

Bryson's analysis draws on Milton's documented association with Arian theology and his rejection of the Trinity doctrine as evidence for atheism.

The book examines Milton's de Deo creation theory, positioning him alongside materialist philosophers Spinoza and Hobbes in early modern thought.

Mortalist arguments regarding the human soul's mortality form a central pillar of Bryson's thesis about Milton's unorthodox beliefs.

Published by Routledge, this scholarly work provides comprehensive textual evidence and historical documentation for its controversial reinterpretation.
