Customer Reviews
Comprehensive and Impeccably Edited - Rated The name of John Milton will always be chiefly associated with one work, "Paradise Lost". Arguably the most famous epic poem in the English language, its reputation as a literary masterpiece is well deserved. But there was much more to Milton than just that one masterwork, as this carefully edited collection proves. They show Milton's interests in republicanism, love and life, the first of which got him into trouble when the monarchy was restored in 1660 following Richard Cromwell's resignation the previous year. The imagery may be sometimes 'difficult' to modern readers, but this his helped by editorial decisions. Leonard unobtrusively amends some archaic spellings and punctuation, making this a proper 'reader's edition'. The Latin poems are all accompanied with English prose translations, and the notes are suitably extensive and informative. He does not attempt to detail Milton's life in the preface, but gives a three page table of significant dates in the poet's life. All in all this is the sort of general edition that one England's greatest poets deserves.
