Using Hannah Arendt’s account of the Greek polis to explain Milton’s fascination with the idea of public speech, this study reveals what is distinctive about his conception of a godly, republican oratory and poetics. The book shows how Milton uses rhetorical theory - its ideas, techniques and image patterns - to dramatise the struggle between ’good’ and ’bad’ oratory, and to fashion his own model of divinely inspired public utterance. Connecting his polemical and imaginative writing in new ways, the book discusses the subliminal rhetoric at work in Milton’s political prose and the systematic scrutiny of the power of oratory in his major poetry. By setting Milton in the context of other Civil War polemicists, of classical political theory and its early modern reinterpretations, and of Renaissance writing on rhetoric and poetic language, the book sheds new light on his work across several genres, culminating in an extended Arendtian reading of his ’Greek’ drama Samson Agonistes.

The people of faith we read of in Hebrews 11 were not super human, but men and women like you and me. This desire, this faith, to live in the truth’s of God’s Word has taken me through many experiences both good and bad, but always with His assurance of continuing on. The greatest excitement was that I had found I could dare to live for something and Someone greater than anything this world could provide. This desire, this faith, is what I want to pass on to you, the reader. You may feel unexcited, actually bored with the usual routine of life in general but let me tell you that God is moving powerfully among His people who are daring to live for something greater than themselves. Each page and each reference is written to lead you to a greater picture of God’s desire to encourage and strengthen you - always.
