Tracing Milton’s literary, intellectual, and political development with unprecedented depth and understanding, Poet of Revolution is an unmatched biographical account of the formation of the mind that would go on to create Paradise Lost - but would first justify the killing of a king.

In this deeply honest and often hilarious collection, anxiety isn’t a villain to conquer—it’s a character we get to know, laugh with, and eventually walk beside.
