Annotation:
	Contends that "Milton's representation of Shakespeare in his 'Epitaph' on Shakespeare (1632) and Eikonoklastes (1649)" reveals Milton's "ongoing" engagement with Shakespeare and "allows ... peculiar insight into the poet’s conflicted desire both to create enhanced space for human agency and to critique its overestimation, especially in the idealization of political virtù." English and French summaries, 165.
