Selected poems: milton, paperback/john leonard

An authoritative new edition of Miltons essential verse John Milton, who abandoned early plans of becoming a clergyman to become a poet, was a master of almost every type of verse-from the classical to the religious, from the lyric to the epic.

His writing reflected his radical views and his profound understanding of politics and power.

This collection includes such early works as the devotional On the Morning of Christs Nativity, Comus, and the pastoral elegy Lycidas.
