Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a selection of 24 sonnets written by John Milton between 1630 and 1658. They are divided into three thematic groups: controversial, personal, and political. The controversial sonnets are less interesting than the others, dealing with grim ungainliness and characterized by humor. The personal sonnets, on the other hand, are beautiful and depict a great spirit, with some exploring Milton's inner thoughts and feelings on themes of art, love, and loss. The political sonnets are more triumphant in tone and offer odes to figures like Cromwell, and explore wider issues such as religious persecution and civil conflict. The sonnets combine simple but majestic sentiments with a severity of mind that is rare in literature, and are notable for their dignity, sobriety, and loftiness of thought. Milton infused into the sonnet form both the music of Petrarch and the grandeur of Greek verse, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of poetry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
