- Title
Samuel Butler's Milton.
- Authors
von Maltzahn, Nicholas
- Abstract
An essay is presented which argues that the 17th century English poet authored the pamphlet "The Censure of the Rota" which criticized the poet Andrew Marvell. According to the author, Butler's relationship with the Duke of Buckingham and English churchman Samuel Parker suggests that he would defend them against Marvell. The literary careers of Butler and poet John Milton are also explored in terms of Butler's "Hudibras" and Milton's "Paradise Lost." Mock-heroic and Christian heroic poetry are also covered.
