The poems of John Milton (1608-74) have inspired readers for generations and the
selection in this new edition spans his entire career, from his earliest works
to the magnificent epics of his later life. The devotional 'On the Morning of
Christ's Nativity', his first great poem, anticipates the probing religious
questions of Paradise Lost . Works such as 'L'Allegro' and 'Il Penseroso'
consider divisions of loyalties, while 'A Masque' ('Comus') explores Milton's
great theme of temptation, and the pastoral elegy 'Lycidas' contemplates
mortality and the meaning of human life. This volume includes considerable
selections from Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained - Milton's late epics on the
Fall of Man and Christ's temptation in the wilderness - and the complete Samson
Agonistes , in which the great hero undergoes a profound crisis of faith in his
final hours.
