Milton's God

1961

William Empson examines John Milton's portrayal and conception of God in his literary works, particularly analyzing the theological and ethical implications of Milton's divine characterization. The book argues that Milton's God is morally problematic and explores how this affects the religious and philosophical dimensions of Milton's poetry.
