A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The purpose of this book is to provide a new approach to Milton, by giving for the first time in one volume the text of all of Milton s English lyric and dramatic poems, annotated for school or college use. To the minor poems (including Comus) so frequently edited, I have added Samson A gonistes, in the belief that an introduction to the study of Milton may more appropriately lead through the lyric and dramatic poems than through the minor poems and selections from Paradise Lost. The sublimity of Milton, as revealed in the great epic, is not readily felt by a young student, who may, however, gain from Milton stragedy a sense of the poets greatness, as distinguished from those qualities which the minor poems so amply illustrate. The first edition of the minor poems appeared in 1645, and was reprinted in 1673. Comus appeared independently in 1637; Lycidas in 1638, in a volume of memorial verse by several hands; and Samson Agonistes in 1671, in a volume with Paradise Regained. These editions, together with the Cambridge MS., which is chiefly in Milton sown hand, -are the authorities for any text.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
