John MiltonPerhaps the greatest poet in the English language after Shakespeare, John Milton actually published very little until the appearance of Poems of Mr John Milton, both English and Latin in 1646, when he was thirty-seven.

Accessible and fully annotated, this volume shows just why Milton's influence on English poetry and criticism has been incalculable. |
