Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sonnets of Milton It was also reserved for Milton to establish in England the more familiar and classical forms of the Italian Sonnet, which had been much neglected, although not wholly and entirely, by his predecessors. The Sonnet is here our special theme; and its use by English poets cannot well be considered without reference to its subjects and methods in the country of its origin. It first appeared in Italy in the twelfth century; it has continued there in unbroken use till the twentieth and the Italian poetry which has been cast into the sonnet form is without bound or limit; infinite in its copiousness, and impressive in its value and beauty. One of the most famous of poets, Petrarch, made it peculiarly his own, and became the master of many disciples but the sonnet extends far outside the Petrarchian range.

Download or read book The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton written by John Milton and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 1410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Milton is, next to William Shakespeare, the most influential English poet, a writer whose work spans an incredible breadth of forms and subject matter. The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton celebrates this author’s genius in a thoughtfully assembled book that provides new modern-spelling versions of Milton’s texts, expert commentary, and a wealth of other features that will please even the most dedicated students of Milton’s canon. Edited by a trio of esteemed scholars, this volume is the definitive Milton for our time. In these pages you will find all of Milton’s verse, from masterpieces such as Paradise Lost–widely viewed as the finest epic poem in the English language–to shorter works such as the Nativity Ode, Lycidas,, A Masque and Samson Agonistes. Milton’s non-English language sonnets, verses, and elegies are accompanied by fresh translations by Gordon Braden. Among the newly edited and authoritatively annotated prose selections are letters, pamphlets, political tracts, essays such as Of Education and Areopagitica, and a generous portion of his heretical Christian Doctrine. These works reveal Milton’s passionate advocacy of controversial positions during the English Civil War and the Commonwealth and Restoration periods. With his deep learning and the sensual immediacy of his language, Milton creates for us a unique bridge to the cultures of classical antiquity and medieval and Renaissance Christianity. With this in mind, the editors give careful attention to preserving the vibrant energy of Milton’s verse and prose, while making the relatively unfamiliar aspects of his writing accessible to modern readers. Notes identify the old meanings and roots of English words, illuminate historical contexts–including classical and biblical allusions–and offer concise accounts of the author’s philosophical and political assumptions. This edition is a consummate work of modern literary scholarship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton's Sonnets For twenty years of Milton's life, embracing the period, namely, of his middle life, from the year in which he wrote Lycidas, 1637, until the year in which we know he was continuously at work upon Paradise Lost, 1658, he wrote no original English verse, except in the form of sonnets. During this time he also wrote half a dozen Italian sonnets. Both of these groups I shall briefly consider, as well as the circumstances under which some of them were written, so far as it is necessary for a correct understanding of them, and perhaps may dwell somewhat upon the merits and limitations of the form in which he wrote.

It was written during the great war of a hundred years ago, the struggle against the devouring am bitiou of Napoleon. It is dated 1802, a time of facile jubilation, no doubt, to those who did not or could not look ahead, but a time of utter gloom to one who, like Wordsworth, exalted the war as a holy war for great principles of Liberty and Good Faith.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sonnets of Milton The only task which confronts an editor of Milton's Sonnets is exegetical. They present no serious difficulties in the text, and it has been thought unnecessary to encumber them with an apparatus criticus, which could give no more than unimportant and insignificant variations in spelling, obvious misprints, or readings rejected by the poet himself. The difficulty of many lines arises from their allusiveness, which it has been sought to make clear by citation of relevant passages from other works. Milton wrote from a full mind, abundant in reminiscence, and all his writing is woven close: sometimes the brevity of an allusion to literary or traditional knowledge is the only cause of an uncertain interpretation. For the text there are three sources - the Editions of 1645 and 1673, and the original Manuscript, containing many of the Sonnets, although not all, in Milton's own hand or those of amanuenses, which is preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, and has been reproduced in fac-simile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lycidas, Sonnets Yet Milton himself regarded them as no more than the first fruits of his genius he had, in his own estimation, shattered the leaves of his poetic laurels before the mellowing year. In April, 1638, he set out on ajourney to Italy, the classic land of poetry and art. He had spent some months in Florence and Rome, and was staying in Naples when the sad news of civil war reached him; be resolved to turn his face homewards, for, he says, 'i thought it disgraceful; while my fellow - countrymen were fighting for liberty, that I should be travelling abroad for pleasure. He retraced his steps in a leisurely manner, and arrived in England in August, 1639. It was on this journey that he wrote his Italian Sonnets, and shortly after his return he wrote that elegy on the death of his friend Charles Diodati, to which allusion is made in the notes on Lycidas. III. In the end of 1639 Milton took lodgings'in London, and hoped to betake himself to his favourite studies with a view to still further maturing himself for the production of some great English poem. But this hope was not fulfilled. The Scots had rebelled against Episcopacy, and the Puritans of England (of whom, both by nature and upbringing, Milton was one) were all in sympathy with them. The famous Long Parlia ment had already resisted in a number of ways the unconstitutional conduct of Charles I., and had decided to sweep away the abuses of the Episcopal Church. How best to do this was the important question, and to the answering of this Milton first devoted himself with all the enthusiasm of his truly religious spirit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Milton: On English Poetry Fifteen years ago last spring Mr. C. N. Greenough, now dean of Harvard College, suggested to me Milton's influence in the eighteenth century as one of a number of desirable subjects for a doctor's thesis. Since that time, except for my first three years of teaching and a year and a half during the war, this study has taken all the hours not devoted to professional duties, all my summers, and all of three entire years. I am embarrassingly conscious that this expenditure of time is quite disproportionate to the results; yet, as Michael Wodhull (who had planned to complete his translation of Euripides in "about one year") wrote, a century since, "notwithstanding about eight years have elapsed, during which I cannot charge myself with any gross degree of remissness or inattention, I feel much more inclined to express my fears, lest I should have been too hasty hi the publication, than to apologise for my tardiness." The danger in a study of this kind is that the writer shall be as one who walks in a mist, seeing only what is immediately before him. More time for continuous reading, not alone in the poetry but in the philosophy and criticism of the period, together with more attention to its history, would, I realize, have made the work broader, richer, meatier, and in every way more significant. For the title indicates only the principal subject with which the book is concerned, since I have endeavored not alone to study Milton's influence (touching also on that of his more important followers), but to make some historical and critical evaluation of the works he influenced, to trace the course of blank-verse translations and the development of the principal types of unrimed poetry, - such as the descriptive, the epic, and the technical treatise, - to reach a better understanding of the eighteenth-century lyric awakening, to follow the history of non-dramatic blank verse from its beginnings to the boyhood of Tennyson, and of the sonnet from the restoration of the Stuarts to the accession of Victoria. My method has been to examine, at least cursorily, all the available English poetry written between 1660 and 1837 regardless of its esthetic value or historical importance, and to reexamine with more care all that seemed to have any real significance for my purposes.
