Eden Renewed - The public and private life of John Milton
Omschrijving
Here in Eden Renewed, the renowned poet and biographer of Edward Lear and Alfred Tennyson, Oxford University professor Peter Levi, presents readers with an extraordinary portrait of John Milton (1608-1674). In this compelling and detailed work, Levi traces Milton's life from the young man who wrote the lyrical poem Lycidas, to his political writings and pamphlets, to the vision of the blind old man, composing Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. In doing so, Levi gives us a full picture of the great poet that shows his roots in Shakespearean England and his growth through the Revolution, Civil War, and the Restoration. Eden Renewed includes valuable new translations of Milton's Latin verse, as well as all new interpretations of his most important prose works.
