Book Description
Excerpt from Aurelian Townshend's Poems and Masks Oblivion has scattered her poppy effectively enough over the name of Aurelian Townshend, who is now but a shadowy figure dimly dis cerned in the background of that bustling London of the early Stuarts and the Civil Wars. Yet in his day he walked with wits and poets, and, for certain touches of rareness here and there in his song.

Book Description
In this analysis of Milton's artistry as an epic poet, John G. Demaray offers a fresh perspective on one of the world's great epic poems. Placing Paradise Lost against the background of Renaissance theatrical and literary formspageants, baroque spectacles, masques, musical dramas, and Continental heroic worksDemaray offers the first extended critical reading of the poem as a unique theatrical epic incorporating heroic conventions, theological materials, and elements of visual pageantry. He examines Milton's early experiments in prophetic verse and theatrical forms, the poet's exposure to Italian theater and art during travels in 163839, and the influence of classical, Continental, and British works upon evolving drafts of Paradise Lost. He relates the epic in new ways to the writings of Jonson, Dryden, and others. Readers interested in seventeenth-century literature, Renaissance and baroque theater, the epic, religious writings, and the creative processes of Milton's imagination will all find many original insights in Milton's Theatrical Epic.
