The age of Milton is an era of extreme religious and political
polarization, revolving around reforms in the English Church
commonly known as Puritanism. It is a disturbing epoch
questioning Christianity as a moral order, having serious
political implications. In the midst of a turbulent and highly
contested religious debate, Milton appeared to be standing
alone, mostly because of his distinct and individual stand of
seeing the turmoil as a devout Christian as well as a rational
being. Not very many agreed to his point of view, at times; a
contradictory stance during this particular phase of the English
politico-religious and literary history roughly beginning in the
age James I (1566-1625) to that of Charles I (1600-1649). This
paper, through an analysis of some of his major works, seeks to
situate Milton’s convictions as a Puritan, which is distinctly
Miltonic in essence, as well as explores his impassioned voice in
support of reason and human liberty.
