Introduction to the 1645 Volume: Poems of Mr. John Milton
C01.qxd 8/18/08 14:44 Page 1 Introduction to the 1645 Volume: Poems of Mr. John Milton In 1645, Milton published most but not all of the poems he had composed by that date. The publisher Humphrey Moseley had been bringing out volumes of lyric poetry by royalist poets such as Edmund Waller, and it was likely, as he claims in the intro- duction to the volume, that he approached Milton and encouraged him to publish his verse. Moseley also arranged for the engraved portrait of Milton by William Marshall (see Figure 1), beneath which Milton, who considered the engraving unflattering, placed a witty Greek epigram ridiculing it in a language neither Marshall nor Moseley under- stood. Unlike most contemporary poets, Milton neither wrote a preface, solicited commendatory poems, nor acknowledged a patron. He organized his volume more or less chronologically, thus displaying his poetic development, but also carefully grouped together poems of similar themes and genres. With the Latin tag from Virgil’s Eclogues on the title page (“Baccare frontem / Cingite, ne vati noceat mala lingua futuro” – “Bind my forehead with foxglove, lest evil tongues harm the future Bard”), he promises future poems on even greater themes. In the Latin ode sent with a replacement copy of the volume to John Rouse, librar- ian of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, Milton describes the 1645 volume as a “twin book, rejoicing in a single cover, but with a double title page.” The first section of the volume presents his vernacular poems (mostly in English, but also including a mini-sonnet sequence in Italian), and concludes with A MASK Presented At LUDLOW- Castle. -

Milton lived in a period of transition affectin^ many as- pects of life, among them the status of wonen. Age-old conserva- tive beliefs were still alive and had a temporary resurgence un- der the Puritan hegemony, but liberal forces were also at work* The poet had the misfortune to be involved in a partic- ularly unhappy marriage. After a youth spent largely in study, with little contact with young women, he hastily married an im- mature Royalist bride, Mary Powell. Her refusal to return to Milton after she had left him in the early months of the mar- riage to visit her family suggests that Hilton and Mary Powell were incompatible from the start. Though there was a reconcil- iation later, Hilton's relationship with her, her whole -family, and, after her death, her children as well, was replete with friction and bitterness. -
Comus by John Milton
Comus By John Milton 1 MILTON'S COMUS WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY WILLIAM BELL, M.A. PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND LOGIC, GOVERNMENT COLLEGE, LAHORE First Edition, 1890. Reprinted, 1891. 2 INTRODUCTION. Few poems have been more variously designated than Comus. Milton himself describes it simply as "A Mask"; by others it has been criticised and estimated as a lyrical drama, a drama in the epic style, a lyric poem in the form of a play, a phantasy, an allegory, a philosophical poem, a suite of speeches or majestic soliloquies, and even a didactic poem. Such variety in the description of the poem is explained partly by its complex charm and many-sided interest, and partly by the desire to describe it from that point of view which should best reconcile its literary form with what we know of the genius and powers of its author. Those who, like Dr. Johnson, have blamed it as a drama, have admired it "as a series of lines," or as a lyric; one writer, who has found that its characters are nothing, its sentiments tedious, its story uninteresting, has nevertheless "doubted whether there will ever be any similar poem which gives so true a conception of the capacity and the dignity of the mind by which it was produced" (Bagehot's Literary Studies). Some who have praised it as an allegory see in it a satire on the evils both of the Church and of the State, while others regard it as alluding to the vices of the Court alone. Some have found its lyrical parts the best, while others, charmed with its "divine philosophy," have commended those deep conceits which place it alongside of the Faerie Queen, as shadowing forth an episode in the education of a noble soul and as a poet's lesson against intemperance and impurity. -

Gray 1 Yesterday and Today: Milton and the Tyrant’s Image The bell rings, and the dog is given a treat. The bell rings again, and the dog receives another treat. The cycle continues; the bell rings, and the dog eats his treat. But soon Pavlov’s dog has become so accustomed to the cycle that the bell rings and the dog is already salivating, awaiting the treat that always comes next. While a seemingly harmless experiment on a dog, Pavlov’s observation reveals an often-overlooked aspect of the human state – one’s susceptibility to conditioning. Whether a sound, a color, an action, or merely a word – an image is projected that suggests how one should live and interact. While the all-pervasive influence of images dictating reality seems to be a modern phenomenon, it traces its roots to the imposing pyramids of the Egyptian pharaohs or the expressive statues of the ancient Greeks. -

Understand the poem ‘Lycidas’ and its various features through a copious glossary and notes, 1.1 Introduction John Milton was born in London in 1608 (seven and a half years before the death of Shakespeare). His grandfather was a Roman Catholic who had disowned Milton’s father when the latter turned Protestant. The boy was sent to St Paul’s school, perhaps when twelve, perhaps earlier. From the beginning, Milton was an eager student (he tells us that from the time he was twelve, he seldom stopped reading before midnight), and he learned Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and began to try to write verse. In 1625 he enrolled at Christ’s College, Cambridge, clashed with his tutor the following year and was suspended, returned and was given another tutor, and graduated on schedule. The University in those days still undertook to teach largely by rote memorization, and Milton thought his training was of little value. -
