Milton: Paradise Lost (2nd Edition)
(John Milton)
Those familiar with the complexities and indecisions of Milton scholarship know how formidable a task it is to prepare an adequately annotated edition of the poems. Mr. Fowler has tackled this task with zest and discrimination as well as perseverance. For several years this work will be indespensible to both scholars and students.
The Cambridge Companion to Milton
(Dennis Danielson)
The Cambridge Companion to Milton provides an accessible, helpful guide for any student of Milton, whether undergraduate or graduate, introducing readers to the scope of Milton's work, the richness of its historical relations, and the range of current approaches to it. This second edition contains new and revised essays, reflecting increasing emphasis on Milton's politics, the social conditions and climate in which his works were published and received, the importance of his early poems and Samson Agonistes, and the changes wrought by gender studies on the criticism of previous decades.
