Book Description
Excerpt from Carmina Minima This knot of "unconsidered Trifles" (which certainly Autolycus himself would not care to "snap up") was intended only for private circulation, - as a keepsake and memorial of old and sweet friendships; of cordial acquaintances; and of abounding hospitalities. The old saying however recurred to me; - "There be many that do know the Lord Mayor's Jester; but whom the Lord Mayor's Jester doth not know: " and so, I, in my late public capacity of lecturer, may possess numerous unrecognized friends among my audiences, who might desire to retain some small memento of one, who claimed, at all events, the merit of an honest zeal and assiduity in administering to their intellectual demands and recreation: - I therefore determined upon the usual, open form of publication. The compositions themselves are casual thoughts, scattered at long intervals, over more than a half century of varied, busy, and every-day mental employment. They accurately fulfil the present intention of their author concerning them; since, being "Trifles," they betoken his "Respect" in this, their presentation.

Book Description
This authoritative edition was originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Milton's poetry and prose - all the English verse together with a generous selection from the major prosewritings - to give the essence of his work and thinking.Milton's influence on English poetry and criticism has been incalculable, and this edition covers the full range of his poetic and political output. It includes Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes as well as major prose works such as Areopagitica and The Tenure of Kings andMagistrates. As well as all the English and Italian verse, the volume includes most of the Latin and Greek verse in parallel translation. Spelling has been modernized, and the poems are arranged in order of publication, essential to an understanding of the progress of Milton's career in relationto the political and religious upheavals of his time. The extensive notes cover syntax, vocabulary, historical context, and biblical and classical allusions. The introduction traces both Milton's changing conception of his own vocation, and the critical reception his work has received over the pastfour centuries.
