Publisher's Synopsis

An examination of John Milton's work, beginning with the famous Minor Poems, ""L'Allegro"", ""Il Penscroso"", ""Comus"" (and ""Arcades""), and ""Lycides"". It explores Milton's middle years, when he was diverted from poetry to become Latin Secretary under Oliver Cromwell. The book goes on to look at the great poems, including a book-by-book analysis of ""Paradise Lost"" and a careful reading of Milton's poetic ""closet drama,"" ""Samson Agonistes"".
