Description
John Milton's Poems is a collection of works by one of England's most celebrated poets. Written in the aftermath of his public life being disrupted by the Restoration, these poems showcase Milton's mastery of high drama, vivid description, and savage irony. The volume includes extensive selections from Paradise Lost, as well as substantial extracts from Comus and Samson Agonistes, and many of Milton's sonnets and shorter poems. Among them is the famous Lycidas, a testament to his skill in crafting powerful and evocative verse. This collection provides a unique insight into the poet's genius and artistic range. Published posthumously in 1996, this edition offers a valuable opportunity for readers to engage with Milton's most celebrated works.
