John Milton: A Literary Life by Cedric C. Brown (English) Paperback Book

Description: John Milton: A Literary Life by Cedric C. Brown An accessible introduction to Milton and his times which considers major texts and less well-known ones in the light of contexts and political functions. It highlights self-presentational and persuasive characteristics, the sense of vocation and Miltons achievement in social genres. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description For the first time in an approachable, affordable volume this study treats the whole literary career of Englands most distinguished protestant-republican poet and writer, considering the miscellaneous output in the light of contexts and political functions. It highlights self-presentational and persuasive characteristics, pays attention to the sense of vocation and also describes Miltons distinctive achievement in social genres. Miltons competitive humanist training is seen to accomodate uneasily to the specific demands of some public works. The book features unfamiliar texts, whilst canonical texts are set in the story of his long endeavours during a turbulent period in English history.
