Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comus Lycidas Milton's life falls into three clearly defined divisions. The first period ends with the poets return, from Italy in 1639; the second at the Restoration in 1660, when release from the fetters of politics enabled him to remind the world that he was a great poet, if not a great controversialist; the third is brought to a close with his death in 1674. The poems given in the present volume date from the first of these periods; but we propose to summarise briefly the main events of all three. John Milton was born on December 9, 1608, in London. He came, in his own words, ex genere honesto. A family of Miltons had been settled in Oxfordshire since the reign of Elizabeth. The poet's father had been educated at an Oxford school, possibly as a chorister in one of the College choir-schools, and imbibing Anglican sympathies had conformed to the Established Church. For this he was disinherited by his father. He settled in London, following the profession of scrivener. A scrivener combined the occupations of lawyer and law-stationer. It appears to have been a lucrative calling; certainly John Milton (the poet was named after the father) attained to easy circumstances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton's L'allegro, IL Penseroso, Comus, and Lycidas Since so much has been written about Milton, and that, too, so ably, it seemed wiser to give in the Introduction to the present volume the best of what has been written by some of the more modern critics about the poems here edited rather than to attempt a criticism which could hardly hope to equal, much less to better, what has already been so admirably done. Furthermore, the diver gence of views expressed by the critics here quoted will give the student abundant Opportunity for discussion, and thereby lead to the formation of opinions more just than could possibly result from the perusal of any one man's single criticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from L'allegro, IL Penseroso Comus, and Lycidas Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony. Il Penseroso starts out in the early evening hours; he listens to the song of the nightingale, or, as he walks in the moonlight, hears the far-off curfew sound; he spends the evening in the contemplation of the great tragedies of antiquity, or devotes the later hours of the night to the study of the mysteries of life and immortality; and with the break of day he betakes himself to some quiet nook in the woods, or listens, under the high-em bowed roof of church or cathedral, to the ecstatic music of full-voiced choir and pealing organ.

Download or read book Comus Classic Reprint written by John Milton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comus Few poems have been more variously designated than Comus, Milton himself describes it simply as "A Mask"; by others it has been criticised and estimated as a lyrical drama, a drama in the epic style, a lyric poem in the form of a play, a phantasy, an allegory, a philosophical poem, a suite of speeches or majestic soliloquies, and even a didactic poem. Such variety in the description of the poem is explained partly by its complex charm and many-sided interest, and partly by the desire to describe it from that point of view which should best reconcile its literary form with what we know of the genius and powers of its author. Those who, like Dr. Johnson, have blamed it as a drama, have admired it "as a series of lines," or as a lyric; one writer, who has found that its characters are nothing, its sentiments tedious, its story uninteresting, has nevertheless "doubted whether there will ever be any similar poem which gives so true a conception of the capacity and the dignity of the mind by which it was produced" (Bagehot's Literary Studies). Some who have praised it as an allegory see in it a satire on the evils both of the Church and of the State, while others regard it as alluding to the vices of the Court alone.

Download or read book Lycidas Sonnets written by John Milton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lycidas, Sonnets This selection comprises, with only one notable exception (Comus), all the English poetry that Milton wrote between 1630 and 1660 - a period of thirty years. On the former date he had already been five years at the University of Cambridge, and on the latter lie finally escaped from the political troubles that had beset him for nearly twenty years and set to work in earnest upon his great epic, Paradise Lost. If we divide his life into four periods, as detailed below, we find that the poems in this volume belong to the second and third of these, and, if we exclude the Sonnets, entirely to the second. We have to deal, therefore, with the products of Milton's earlier muse; his later or epic muse belongs exclusively to the fourth and last period of his life. I. Pre-literary period, 1608-25. II. Period of College and Country life and Travel, 1625-40. III. Controversial period, 1640-60. IV. Period of Great Poems, 1660-74. I. John Milton was born on December 9th, 1608, about eight years before the death of Shakespeare. His father, a prosperous London scrivener, was a pious and cultured man, and chose as his son's first tutor Thomas Young, a Puritan divine.
