Synopsis: |
John Milton wrote some of the greatest poetry in the English language, filled with drama and energy. This selection celebrates the best of his verse in all its richness and variety, setting Milton's work against the arc of his turbulent life. Here are schoolboy writings and the verses of the university wit, sonnets on spring, love, time, work and ambition, a political protest and, most movingly, a dream of his dead second wife. There are extracts from the epic "Paradise Lost", describing the rebellious hero-villain Satan, and showing Adam and Eve discovering the joys and problems of marriage. Here too are lines from the dark verse drama "Samson Agonistes", written near the end of Milton's life, when he had endured loss, blindness and persecution. |
