1860 JOHN MILTON Paradise Lost Regained Sonnets Lycidas Complete Poetical Works
“The Complete Poetical Works of John Milton,” offers a comprehensive collection of Miltons poetic output alongside biographical insights and visual representations. Milton, a prominent English poet and intellectual from the 17th century, is renowned for his epic poem “Paradise Lost,” which explores the theological narrative of mankinds fall. His strong advocacy for freedom of speech and press, illustrated through his impactful work “Areopagitica,” has cemented his legacy as a vital figure in literary history. This collection showcases Miltons unique literary innovations, like his employment of unrhymed verse and the introduction of new words to the English language. The book provides a detailed look at Miltons life, from his education at Cambridge, through his years of private study, extensive travels, and service to the Commonwealth of England, to his later years where despite loss of vision and public standing, he produced some of his most significant works. The legacy of Miltons radical thinking and profound influence on English literature is encapsulated in this volume, making it a significant resource for any scholar or enthusiast of English literature.
