God's Instruments: Political Conduct in the England of Oliver Cromwell
"There is a sharp polemical edge underlying ths book, one that Miltonists and others would do well to note... At a time when historical inquiry and historical interprtations of literature are more than occasionally dismissed as 'mere antiquarianism' (11), this book demonstrates how undersating the past in all its complexity not only enriches our understand of the 1650s with obvious implications for interpreting the period's literature, but also our present." --Milton Quarterly
