Summary
While the issues of the day that consumed the attention of scholar, accomplished linguist, politician and severe Puritan, John Milton (1608-1674) are now largely of historical interest, the verse which they inspired remains a staple of English literature.
Although he is best known today for his poetic epics, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, Milton was also a master of shorter verse forms, particularly the sonnet, in which many consider him second only to Shakespeare.
This collection includes twenty-one of Milton's best-known short works:
- On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity
- On Shakespeare
- L’Allegro
- Il Penseroso
- At a Solemn Music
- Lycidas
- Fifteen Sonnets
