About this book

"Everything Christopher Hill has to say about the literature or the politics of the seventeenth century is valuable. He spins off books for lesser scholars with every other sentence. In this collection of essays alone he has written the best essay I have read on censorship in the century, and the best on the religion and politics of Robinson Crusoe, and Samuel Pepys, and just about anyone else he chooses to write about."--Milton Quarterly.
