Masson’s Miltons and the Root and Branch Controversy
The review praises Masson’s Life of Milton for detailing Milton’s role in the 1640s church and political struggles, the Root-and-Branch movement, and his prose defenses of liberty. It notes Milton’s close ties to Young and the Smectymnuans, his partisan writings, and his marriage which decayed into a philosophical home life at Aldersgate Street.
