How Milton Works (2001) is a book by the distinguished American literary theorist Stanley Fish, published by Harvard University Press. The book represents the crowning achievement of the author's lifelong study of the work of the English poet John Milton. In it, Fish presents the unique and provocative thesis that Milton's works function "inside out," meaning that the entire value, aesthetics, and meaning of the author's writing derives solely from his unwavering inner theological and moral commitment to God, completely independent of external circumstances or literary standards. Fish argues that Milton writes not to create an appealing plot or dramatic portrayal of characters, but to provide testimony to the absolute truth of God. Every word and action in Milton's works represents an act of firm adherence to faith in the face of temptation. According to Fish, for Milton, nothing external has real value. History, politics, literary fame, and even empirical reality itself are secondary or potentially dangerous because they can distract a person from an inner devotion to God.
