Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Milton´s L´allegro, IL Penseroso, Comus, and Lycidas In Milton´s Tractate of Education there is a passage which suggests in figure and with fine harmony the duty as well as the delight of every reader of Milton´s poetry. "I shall... straight conduct you to a hill-side," writes Milton to Master Hartlib, "where I will point you out the right path of a virtuous and noble education, laborious indeed at the first ascent, but also so smooth, so green, so full of goodly prospect and melodious sounds, that the harp of Orpheus was not more charming." With the reader of Milton, in like manner, the effort, laborious though it be, must ever precede the pleasure. Every line, every word of Milton´s poetry has its meaning, and very often diligent search must be made for it; but it is nevertheless true that he who gives his days and nights to the search for this meaning and finds it wins for himself a culture scarcely less precious than Milton´s own "virtuous and noble education." Since so much has been written about Milton, and that, too, so ably, it seemed wiser to give in the Introduction to the present volume the best of what has been written by some of the more modern critics about the poems here edited rather than to attempt a criticism which could hardly hope to equal, much less to better, what has already been so admirably done. Furthermore, the divergence of views expressed by the critics here quoted will give the student abundant opportunity for discussion, and thereby lead to the formation of opinions more just than could possibly result from the perusal of any one man´s single criticism. The text of the poems is taken from Masson´s library edition of Milton´s poetical works. Here, as in the case of the selections printed in the Introduction, the reprint is as exact as it was possible to make it. The Notes, as must be the case where serious study is to be made of poems whose lines have been so much fought over by scholars as these of Milton, are necessarily rather full. Several important interpretations arc sometimes given to a single passage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
