Description

Originally published in 1898 and reprinted many times after that, this book contains the texts of Milton's play Comus and his pastoral poem 'Lycidas', both written in the 1630s. Verity introduces the book with a biography of Milton and the history of each piece, and includes notes and a glossary at the end, as well as some critical opinions on both works by Milton's contemporaries. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Milton.
