Call for Essays

“Milton, Liberalism, and Religious Violence:  Influences and  
Consequences”

The idea for this volume has emerged from a two-day symposium on the  
topic of “Milton Alive at 400:  Samson Agonistes and Religious  
Violence,” recently held at the University of Miami and Florida  
International University to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the  
birth of John Milton.

In keeping with our approach to the symposium, we are seeking essays  
in a variety of disciplines, not just literary studies, but also in  
fields like political science, religious studies, legal studies,  
anthropology, sociology, and history.  While we expect the volume to  
include contributions on Milton’s writings (not limited to Samson),  
we seek to produce a collection that combines this more specific  
focus with a wider perspective that includes biblical literature and  
other early modern literature.

Tentative sections will include:

Interdisciplinary Analyses of Religion, Politics, and Violence

Religion and Violence in Milton’s Bible

Religious Violence in Early Modern Literature

Submissions should be approximately 5000 words in length.  Please  
include your name, phone numbers, email address, surface mail  
address, and institutional affiliation.
