A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present Bishop of Winchester, in fulfilling the duty twas honourably imposed upon him, of editing a postnous production of England sgreatest Epic Poet, makes the following observation :T here is much reason for egretting that the prose works of Milton where, in the Kkiidst of much that is coarse and intemperate, passages of Buch redeeming beauty occur should be in the hands of sow readers; considering the advantage which might be rived to our literature from the study of their original Mid nervous eloquence. Several obvious reasons may account for this neglect; and the first of these is, that a somewhat repulsive influence obstructs the inquirer at the very threshold of this rare but almost unexplored cabinet of British literature. The very names of many of Milton sprose works present ftiemselves to all but the learned, as an array of quaint brms, which frown upon the uninitiated. Their style, like ftie waters, of the fabled stream, is turbid with the grains classic gold; and the literary habits of the writer were so osely connected with ancient and foreign literature, as to leprive his writings of that strictly national character thich is essential to a wide popularity.

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.
