A Reader`s Guide to John Milton

Marjorie Hope Nicolson - one of the world`s foremost authorities on Milton - examines Milton`s work beginning with the juvenalia, the famous Minor Poems, L`Allegro , Il Penseroso , Comus (and Arcades ), and Lycidas . She explores Milton`s middle years, when he was diverted from poetry to become Latin Secretary under Oliver Cromwell. Examining the sonnets he composed during this time, she also scrutinizes the many prose-pamphlets and tracts that Milton said he wrote with his left hand . Finally, Nicolson looks at the great poems, including a book-by-book analysis of Paradise Lost and a careful reading of Samson Agonistes, Milton`s poetic closet drama . Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
