John Milton is widely known as the poet of liberty and freedom. But his commitment to justice has been often overlooked. As Alison A. Chapman shows, Miltons many prose works are saturated in legal ways of thinking, and he also actively shifts between citing Roman, common, and ecclesiastical law to best suit his purpose in any given text. This book provides literary scholars with a working knowledge of the multiple, jostling, realworld legal systems in conflict in seventeenthcentury England and brings to light Miltons use of the various legal systems and vocabularies of the timenatural versus positive law, for exampleand the differences between them.Surveying Miltons early pamphlets, divorce tracts, late political tracts, and major prose works in comparison with the writings and cases of some of Miltons contemporariesincluding George Herbert, John Donne, Ben Jonson, and John BunyanChapman reveals the variety and nuance in Miltons juridical toolkit and his subtle use of competing legal traditions in pursuit of justice.
