Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Account of the Life and Writings of John Milton: The Second Edition, With Additions, and With a Verbal Index to the Whole of Milton´s Poetry The following Account of Milton´s Life and Writings, and the Verbal Index to his Poetry, are what accompany my second edition of his Poetical Works. It has been suggested, that to some readers of Milton they might not perhaps be unacceptable in a separate volume. To the candid notice of such, they are accordingly thus offered. Of my biographical attempt (such as it is) the materials have been drawn, as I formerly stated, form authentick sources. In it some new anecdotes relating to the history of Milton´s friends, of his works, and of his times, were interwoven; to which additions are now made. These circumstances perhaps may plead as some apology for my rainness, in affecting to sketch the poet, whom the masterly hands of a Johnson and an Hayley have depicted; a rashness to which I was impelled by the persuation of others, that, to a new edition of his works, it is a custom to prefix the Life of the Author. To this custom indeed English biography has lately been indebted for a spirited acquisition; the Life of Milton, accompanying an edition of his Prose-Works, written by the Rev. Dr. Symmons; a composition, which, like those of Johnson and Hayley, opposes to my unadorned narration a very brilliant contrast. Cheerfully conceding the honour due to this work, I claim the liberty, however, of differing from the eloquent biographer in some political sentiments, and of refusing my assent to one or two of his assertions and literary opinions.
