Opis

When this monumental work was first published in 1968, it was hailed as one of the great literary biographies of the century. Based on a vast range of documentary evidence, the book is essential reading for all students of Milton and seventeenth-century literature. This new edition of the biography has been revised and serves as a complete, self-contained, and accessible account of Milton's life.

Recenzje

a work of brilliant scholarship - indispensable as much for the answers it provides as for the questions it raises, authoritative in the vast material ordered in its pages, and stimulating in its salutary challenge of accepted theories. Students of Milton and his age will for long argue the merits of Mr Parker's more controversial suggestions, but they could ill afford to bypass him on any aspect of the poet's life.
