His political writings, which actually constitute the majority of his work, were not always justifications for regicide. Milton's efforts as a minister during the governance of England by Cromwell may have actually supported the nation's search for identity, with or without a king. Loewenstein (English, U. of Wisconsin-Madison), Stevens (English, U. of Toronto) and their contributors of 15 essays discover details about the nature of that search, particularly the place of Milton's own concepts about nationalism, which were part of a powerful imaginative construct in his writings. As is usual with Milton, contributors find indications of conflict in Milton's mind about nationhood and national identity, and they address his concept's religious, literary, ethnic and civil facets, along with his influence on later perceptions about citizenship, slavery and gender on a wide range of intellectuals and actors, including Romantics and revolutionaries.
