V. The Divorce Tracts
Detail
THE DIVORCE TRACTS: During the civil war period Milton wrote over twenty pamphlets in defense of "three varieties of liberty," as he put it in 1654: "ecclesiastical liberty, domestic or personal liberty, and civil liberty." The five pamphlets on "domestic liberty" -- his so-called divorce tracts -- boldly argued for the liberty to choose a spouse and to choose again if that choice proved in error. His views were called "licentious, new and dangerous," and he was the subject of a Parliamentary inquiry. Contemporaries wanted the books suppressed, which may have contributed to his commitment to the freedom of the press.

Name
Milton, The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce (1643)
Detail
It is often thought that difficulties in his first marriage to Mary Powell precipitated his writings on divorce, and biography may have played a role. But it is clear by his notes in the Commonplace Book that he was interested in the rules around marriage and divorce much earlier. Recent research has also shown that Milton's several divorce tracts are also in dialogue with current debates, and particularly the Westminster Assembly's efforts to reform the institution of marriage. These reveal Milton to be contributing to a national discussion much more than has been previously understood.
