Masculinities of John Milton
«'In this thoughtful and sophisticated book, Hodgson demonstrates the extent to which the tensions of early modern masculinity animate and complicate John Milton's poems and prose works. Making surprising and revelatory connections across the full range of Milton's writings, this is a timely and generative piece of scholarship.' Joseph Moshenska, University of Oxford»
The Masculinites of John Milton is the first published monograph on Milton's men. Examining how Milton's fantasies of manly authority are framed in his major works, this study exposes the gaps between Milton's pleas for liberty and his assumptions that White men like himself should rule his culture.

«'The Masculinities of John Milton by Elizabeth M. A. Hodgson is a necessary and convincingly feminist account of the making of masculinity in Milton's works. Earlier feminist approaches to Milton have often focused on femininity and the representation of women; masculinity is so ubiquitous that it has remained an unmarked and underexamined term. This book, therefore, offers an essential intervention in Milton studies by exploring how Milton's portrayal of citizenship, freedom, friendship, love, and marriage depend upon cultural constructions of masculinity.'
