Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lyric and Dramatic Poems of John Milton 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 Agonistes, 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 Miltons tragedy 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's own hand, are the authorities for any text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Minor Poems of John Milton I have, therefore, condensed, for this volume, the His torical Introduction to my volume of Selections from Paradise Lost by omitting all the portions not necessary to the interpretation of the poems here included, and have added a general Introduction to the Minor Poems and also a special Introduction to each poem, together with critical notes, which aim to direct attention to the poems as literary productions. The various Introduc tions should be studied with some care, as a preparation for the study of certain classes of literature. Then the poems should be made the object of study, the references to the Historical Introduction and the Glossary being used only when the failure of the pupil's memory ren ders it necessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume IV features all the verse written in the English language by English poet JOHN MILTON (1608-1674), including the essential Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, plus "Song on May Morning," "Sonnet to the Nightingale," "The Passion," "To a Virtuous Young Lady," and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of John Milton WE are aided in the study of Milton's life by the sharpness of line which separates the three main epochs of his history: his life of student ease, during which he was preparing himself with consecration for his poetic vocation; his life of public service, when he put behind him his poetic ambitions and threw himself with fanatical ardor into the struggle for liberty; and his old age, when, blind and discredited, he sat down amid the wreck of everything for which he had given his best twenty years, to write the poem which from early youth he had felt it his mis sion to leave to the nation. Milton's youth was singularly sweet and Sheltered. He was born in London on the 9th of December, 1608, the son of John Milton, a scrivener or solicitor do ing business at the Sign of the Spread Eagle in Bread Street. It is worth noting that for two generations at least the Miltons had exhibited intense partisanship in the religious disputes which agitated the nation. Richard Milton, the poet's grand father, had been a stubborn Catholic recusant under Elizabeth, and John Milton, the poet's father, had broken with his family in order to join the Puritans. The Puri tanism of the home in Bread Street was not, however, of an ascetic or unlovely type. The father was an accomplished musician, of some note as a composer, and could even on occasion try his hand at poetry. This mellow atmosphere of taste and cultivation, spiritualized by a sincere piety, united with larger circumstances to enrich life for the young poet. We must remember that in Milton's childhood Shakespeare was still alive, that at the Mermaid Tavern, probably in the very street where the scrivener's house stood, Ben Jonson held his merry meetings, and that most of the stalwart figures which had made the reign of the Virgin Queen illustrious were still to be seen about the streets of London. There was as yet hardly a hint of the passing away of those spacious times, of the spirit of romance and adventure, which had filled Elizabethan England. His nature, there fore, was in no danger of being starved at the outset, as it must have been if his birth had fallen a few decades farther on in the struggle between the old and the new, when Puritanism had narrowed and hardened itself in order to project itself more forcibly against its enemies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Milton To endeavour to remedy that which has been well denominated by the first literary authority in England, a disgraceful defect in literature the want of such an edition, as, he flatters himself, the present will be found - to restore milton's loftiest poem to its original purity; bringing it, by means of luminous critical and explanatory notes, within the comprehension of his humblest countrymen, and at a price which will enable all to become possessed of it - in fine, to do justice to the fame of the greatest epic poet of any age or country, by removing the prejudices which party zeal and hate had heaped on his memory 3 - was pronounced a bold, if not an impracticable undertaking. That the publisher has been enabled to achieve all this, and bring the work to a triumphant close (although at an outlay which must, in the event of failure, have been ruinous), will ever be to him a source of the proudest gratulation. That he has done so, he has the collective testimony of the press, without a single exception, -of an already extensive and daily increasing circulation, - of many distinguished friends, Whose expressions of approbation, and still more substantial aid, he regrets he is not permitted to acknowledge more openly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton's Shorter Poems The aim of this edition of Milton's Shorter Poems is, primarily, to supply the pupil, by means of notes and questions, the necessary information and stimulus for the understanding of the poems studied. No attempt has been made to produce a learned book. There is already an abundance of such editions of Milton; and the present editor does not believe that the apparatus of the scholar is necessary or even desir able for the high school pupil. Consequently there are few references to other authors, and the necessary explanations are made as brief as possible. That the pupil may be helped as much as possible, the notes are put at the bottom of the page where they will be immediately available; and many questions are inserted to stimulate thought and enable the student to work, out the meaning for himself. The teacher has also been kept in mind. The questions at the bottom of the page, primarily for the pupil, will suggest many other questions to bring out the meaning of the text; the questions at the back of the book will suggest ways of bringing out the larger aspects of the poems as to form and subject matter; while the outlines will serve both teacher and pupil as a convenient framework for study of the relations of the different parts of each poem. The editor assumes that the teacher will be familiar with other editions of these poems. Huntington's (ginn Neilson's (scott, Foresman and Trent's (long man, Green Co.) editions are especially useful and have been referred to freely in preparing this edition. One sug gestion has been taken from Parrott and Long's English Poems from Chaucer to Kipling. Of the complete editions of Milton's English poems, Masson's, the so-called standard, is too conjectural in its notes to be trusted, Browne's (clarendon Press Series) is perhaps as satisfactory as any other.
