Description
This authoritative edition brings together a unique combination of John Milton's poetry and prose, offering a comprehensive understanding of his work and thinking. The collection includes his major poetic and political output, such as Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes, as well as significant prose works like Areopagitica and The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates.
The edition features a generous selection of Milton's verse in English, Italian, Latin, and Greek, with parallel translations, and includes most of the Latin and Greek verse in parallel translation. The text has been modernized, and the poems are arranged in order of publication, providing essential context for understanding the progress of Milton's career in relation to the political and religious upheavals of his time.
The edition is accompanied by extensive notes that cover syntax, vocabulary, historical context, and biblical and classical allusions, as well as an introduction that explores both Milton's changing conception of his own vocation and the critical reception his work has received over the past four centuries.
