초록
In Korea Milton’ prose works have not received so much attention as his poetry, though they are no less important than his poetry in understanding his literature and thought as well as the English Revolution in general. Now Korean Milton scholars need to study his prose works for better understanding of his literature and the English Revolution. By his death in 1658, Oliver Cromwell had not fulfilled his promises for the Reformation. Milton’s expectations for the separation between church and state had lost its impetus because of the downfall of the Nominated Parliament in 1653. So, he wrote Civil Power in 1659 to encourage the new Parliament under Richard Cromwell to liberate each believer’s religious conscience from civil power. This essay analyzes four reasons Milton provides for the separation between church and state in Civil Power, and then discusses the pamphlet’s significance in Milton’s idea of freedom and the English Revolution. Throughout the pamphlet, Milton emphasizes both free will and conscience in faith, and opposes any forms of compulsion by the state, including tithes, which are to be fully attacked in Hirelings. He does not tolerate idolatry and Catholic faith, because he thinks they have historically sacrificed Christian liberty in favor of set ceremonies and rituals. Though his idea of religious freedom seems not mature enough, Milton surely took a historical stride toward a modern idea of religious freedom.
Abstract
In Korea Milton’ prose works have not received so much attention as his poetry, though they are no less important than his poetry in understanding his literature and thought as well as the English Revolution in general. Now Korean Milton scholars need to study his prose works for better understanding of his literature and the English Revolution. By his death in 1658, Oliver Cromwell had not fulfilled his promises for the Reformation. Milton’s expectations for the separation between church and state had lost its impetus because of the downfall of the Nominated Parliament in 1653. So, he wrote Civil Power in 1659 to encourage the new Parliament under Richard Cromwell to liberate each believer’s religious conscience from civil power. This essay analyzes four reasons Milton provides for the separation between church and state in Civil Power, and then discusses the pamphlet’s significance in Milton’s idea of freedom and the English Revolution. Throughout the pamphlet, Milton emphasizes both free will and conscience in faith, and opposes any forms of compulsion by the state, including tithes, which are to be fully attacked in Hirelings. He does not tolerate idolatry and Catholic faith, because he thinks they have historically sacrificed Christian liberty in favor of set ceremonies and rituals. Though his idea of religious freedom seems not mature enough, Milton surely took a historical stride toward a modern idea of religious freedom.
