Descriere magazin:
John Milton is, next to William Shakespeare, the most influential English poet, a writer whose work spans an incredible breadth of forms and subject matter. The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton celebrates this author\'s genius in a thoughtfully assembled book that provides new modern-spelling versions of Milton\'s texts, expert commentary, and a wealth of other features that will please even the most dedicated students of Milton\'s canon.

Notes identify the old meanings and roots of English words, illuminate historical contexts-including classical and biblical allusions-and offer concise accounts of the author\'s philosophical and political assumptions. This edition is a consummate work of modern literary scholarship. Praise Over the coming months, John Milton\'s] 400th anniversary will be celebrated in many different ways, but it is highly unlikely that any of the tributes he receives will do as much for him as the appearance of the Modern Library edition of his collected poetry and selected prose. The edition is a model of its kind, well designed and attractively produced. There are scholarly but unintimidating footnotes and helpful introductions to the major works. Spelling and punctuation have been modernized -- a difficult decision but the right o
