Milton and the Royal Martyr in Civil War England
The piece discusses John Milton as a skilled secretary for the Commonwealth and a fierce critic of the royalist martyr scene after Charles I’s death. It contrasts Milton’s Latin prose and loyalty with the powerful but emotionally charged reception of Hilton Basilike, and analyzes how royalist worship of the executed king persisted despite Milton’s rebuttals and the Restoration push to sustain constitutional loyalties.
