| Sumario: | The article examines the insidious infidel and the captive Englishman in the divorce tracts of poet John Milton. Topics discussed include the English parliamentary government and the Islamic cultures in England's trade and colonial ambitions, Milton's invocation of English fears of enslavement, capture and unmanning by Islamic pirates, and his avoidance of directly condemning Islamic enslavement and bondage by dismissing the problem of marriage or being a marital captive to corrupting infidels. |
