Paperback. Condizione: Good. 606 pages. Cover worn and plastic coatedIn the course of his forty-year career John Milton evolved from a prodigy to a b lind prophet, from a philosophical aesthete to a Puritan rebel, and from a Latin ist poet who proclaimed the triumph of reason to an epic poet obsessed with the intractability of sin. A master of almost every verse style -- from the pastoral , devotional, and tenderly lyrical to the supreme grandeur of his great epic, Pa radise Lost, and his biblical Greek tragedy, Samson Agonistes -- Milton left a body of work unrivaled in literary history. Although he wrote Comus and Lycid as shortly after leaving Cambridge University, Milton devoted much of his adult life -- and even sacrificed his eyesight -- to defending the cause of Oliver Cr omwell's Commonwealth. Milton's later poetry, produced after Charles II's restor ation led to the defeat of the Commonwealth, contains not only personally achiev ed theological insights but also a deep firsthand understanding of politics and power.This edition presents Milton's complete English, Latin, and Greek poems, m odernizing spelling, capitalization, and any punctuation likely to cause confusi on.
