	EMLS 7.1 (May, 2001): 15.1-6 Review of Milton and Heresy
		Finally, because earlier scholars, such as William Empson and Maurice Kelley, have made many of these claims but have been muted by the "persistent desire to present Milton as an orthodox Christian" (12), the editors aim to give credit where credit has not been given, but is due.

		While this claim ostensibly supports the view that Milton shunned reliance on set beliefs, it also conflicts with the view, emerging from some of the other essays in the volume, that the late Milton is firmly committed to particular heretical views in both the poetry and his theological treatise.
