Corns John Milton: Life, Work and Thought Oxford / New York: Oxford University Press, 2008. xiii+488pp. Reviewed by Yuko Kanakubo Noro, Nihon University In 2008, to commemorate the quartercentenary of John Milton’s birth (December 9, 1608), several influential books of Milton studies were published: Is Milton Better than Shakespeare?, by Nigel Smith; John Milton: Paradise Lost edited by Philip Pullman 1 and A Concise Companion to Milton edited by Angelica Duran. There are three biographies as well: Milton: Poet, Pamphleteer and Patriot by Anna Beer; John Milton: A Biography by Neil Forsyth; and John Milton: Life, Work and Thought by Gordon Campbell and Thomas N. Corns. The three biographies differ from each other in the following ways: Beer’s attitude towards Milton’s life reminds the reader of Wordsworth’s invocation to Milton in his sonnet, which begins with “Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour: / England hath need of thee:”. In short, by appreciating the great poet’s life and works, the reader is to share Milton’s thought, energy and posture towards the world’s difficulties and problems, and live positively, imitating Milton as an exemplum. The base of Beer’s approach is sympathy. Neil Forsyth’s approach is to some extent similar to Beer’s, but he seems to grasp the figure of Milton more objectively than she does, and he seems to entertain his readers by solving the problem as to, “[W]hy Milton is so loved and admired, and even, sometimes, detested”(p.

This thesis will examine Milton’s nationalism in several major and minor poems as well as in some of Milton’s prose. It will argue that Milton’s nationalism is difficult to trace chronologically, but that education is always essential to Milton’s national vision of England.

    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.

  • John Milton, Areopagitica (1644)1

    John Milton, Areopagitica (1644)1

    1 Primary Source 7.6 – Milton JOHN MILTON, AREOPAGITICA (1644)1 John Milton (1608–74) is widely considered the greatest writer in English after Shakespeare. A private tutor, an excellent school in London, seven years at Cambridge University, and six years of self-directed study made him an extraordinarily learned man with fluency in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, Spanish, and Italian; vast knowledge of modern writing; and intimate familiarity with the literature and thought of ancient Greece and Rome, of late antiquity, and of the Middle Ages. From an early age, he believed himself destined to contribute a great creative work, something that would do credit to the gifts with which the Lord had endowed him. A deeply believing Christian and an unwavering advocate of religious, civil, and political liberty, he devoted those gifts for twenty years to the service of the Puritan and Republican causes. During this era, he penned Areopagitica, probably the greatest polemical defense of the freedom of the press ever written. Following the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660, Milton had to withdraw from political life. Seven years later, he published his masterwork, Paradise Lost, an epic poem recounting the Biblical story of the Fall of Man in over 10,000 lines of blank verse. In Areopagitica, Milton deploys impassioned arguments, vast historical knowledge, extraordinary erudition, and powerful logic to demand the abrogation of a law of 1643 authorizing twenty licensors, or censors, in England to approve or reject book and pamphlet manuscripts before publication, a general policy (not always strictly enforced) dating to the mid-1500s but abolished in 1641 by the Long Parliament.

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.

    The Role of Italy in Milton's Early Poetic Development

    Italia Conquistata: The Role of Italy in Milton’s Early Poetic Development Submitted by Paul Slade to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in December 2017 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract My thesis explores the way in which the Italian language and literary culture contributed to John Milton’s early development as a poet (over the period up to 1639 and the composition of Epitaphium Damonis). I begin by investigating the nature of the cultural relationship between England and Italy in the late medieval and early modern periods. I then examine how Milton’s own engagement with the Italian language and its literature evolved in the context of his family background, his personal contacts with the London Italian community and modern language teaching in the early seventeenth century as he grew to become a ‘multilingual’ poet. My study then turns to his first published collection of verse, Poems 1645. Here, I reconsider the Italian elements in Milton’s early poetry, beginning with the six poems he wrote in Italian, identifying their place and significance in the overall structure of the volume, and their status and place within the Italian Petrarchan verse tradition.
