Title: Mammon's music
Description: "The commercial revolution of the seventeenth century deeply changed English culture. In this ambitious book, Blair Hoxby explores what that economic transformation meant to the century's greatest poet, John Milton, and to the broader literary tradition in which he worked.

Hoxby places Milton's work - as well as the writings of contemporary reformers like the Levellers, poets like John Dryden, and political economists like Sir William Petty - within the framework of England's economic history between 1601 and 1724. Literary history swerved in this period, Hoxby demonstrates, as a burgeoning economic discourse pressed authors to reimagine ideas about self, community, and empire, and to redefine genres like the epic and the royal entry."--BOOK JACKET.
