Milton's Comus, Lycidas, And Other Poems (1899)

Exploring themes of temptation, virtue, and grief, this collection features John Milton's celebrated works, including the masque "Comus," which tells of a young woman's encounter with the god of revelry, and the elegy "Lycidas," mourning the loss of a friend. The volume also includes additional poems such as "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity," "On Shakespeare," and "On His Blindness." Accompanied by Matthew Arnold's address on Milton, this reprint preserves the significance of Milton's poetry for modern readers.
