What is Milton the Dramatist (Medieval and Renaissance Literary Studies) about?

This Study Of Milton As A Dramatist Fills A Longstanding Gap In Milton Scholarship. Combining Author-contextual Criticism, Historicized Reader-response Theory, And New Historicism, Timothy J. Burbery Answers Common Objections To The Claim That Milton Is A Dramatist, Including The Putatively Static Natures Of Comus And Samson Agonistes, Milton's Egoism, And His Puritanism. Burbery Asserts Further That Recent Biographical Evidence Of Milton's Consumption Of Drama, Such As His Father's Trusteeship Of The Blackfriars Theatre, Suggests That The Future Poet Viewed Commercial Plays And Thus Probably Alludes To These Experiences In His Early Poetry.--jacket.
