  • Looks at Milton's life, and the cultural background to his work, as well as examining his writing
  • Considers how and why Milton's work has endured the centuries to educate, entertain and intrigue so many generations of readers
  • Ideal for the reader falling in love with Milton's poetry and prose, who longs to know more about what people think about the poetry, the man or the historical context
Industry Reviews
"Flannagan is eminently qualified to explain the greatness of English poet John Milton - and he's marvelously successful in achieving his goal[...]Fresh, fluent and witty, Flannagan's treatment is thoroughly informed by the insights of current literary insights and is rendered without jargon." Library Journal


?This is historically informed criticism delivered with a light and generally assured touch and, most successfully, Flannagan retains a clear focus on disclosing what is remarkable about Milton, what makes him worth the modern readers? attention ? Flannagan has produced a helpful, lively - and intelligently illustrated - little book, to which students may with confidence be directed.? Milton Quarterly
