About the Author
John Milton was a seventeenth-century English poet, polemicist, and civil servant in the government of Oliver Cromwell. Among Milton s best-known works are the classic epic Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, considered one of the greatest accomplishments in English blank verse, and Samson Agonistes.
Writing during a period of tremendous religious and political change, Milton s theology and politics were considered radical under King Charles I, found acceptance during the Commonwealth period, and were again out of fashion after the Restoration, when his literary reputation became a subject for debate due to his unrepentant republicanism. T.S. Eliot remarked that Milton s poetry was the hardest to reflect upon without one s own political and theological beliefs intruding.

Considerations on Miltonās Early Reading, and the Prima Stamina of His Paradise
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the connections between John Milton and a previous poet, Joshua Sylvester. The author analyzes Milton's early poetry, particularly his masque "Comus," to demonstrate Milton's deep engagement with Sylvester's translation of the French poet Du Bartas's epic poem, "The Divine Weeks and Works." Through close readings of both poets, the author argues that Sylvester's work provided Milton with a rich source of poetic language, imagery, and themes, which Milton adapted and transformed in his own groundbreaking poetry. This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Milton's poetic development and the broader literary and intellectual currents of the early 17th century, enriching our appreciation of Milton's enduring influence on English literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333017989_0
