Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1975 as part of the Cambridge Milton series, this volume brings together Milton's early religious odes, pastorals, and masques, including Ode on the morning of Christ's nativity, L'allegro, Il penseroso, Arcades, Comus, and Lycidas. Each work is given its own introduction, and is accompanied in most cases by extensive notes, commentaries, and appendices. Designed for use by the individual student, the class, and the teacher in schools, colleges, and universities, the Cambridge Milton offers a unique emphasis and approach to the poetry, which encourages individual resourcefulness in the exploration of the texts.
