This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1806 edition. Excerpt: ... Onp this passage, which probably would not have been published had it referred to cimens, which he has given us of his Greek poetry, he has more frequently fallen into error, as Dr. C. Burney has very acutely and learnedly demonstrated. On Milton's Greek composition I have purposely foreborne to offer any remarks, the accomplished scholar and very acute critic, whom I have just mentioned, having completely exhausted the subject. When the almost infinite niceties of the Greek language are considered, and it is recollected that even Dawes, the most accurate Grecian, perhaps, whom this Island, till the present day, has ever produced, and the great sir William Jones have not, in every instance, been able to observe them, the lapses in Milton's Greek composition will possibly be regarded as venial, and not to be admitted in diminution of the fame of his Greek erudition. ! It may be proper to give a literal translation of these lines, that the English reader may form his own judgment on the extent of their testimony. ' Now neither am I anxious to revisit reedy Cam, nor does the love of my lately forbidden college give me uneasiness. Fields naked and destitute of soft shades do not please me. How ill-suited to the worshippers of Phcebus is such a place! Neither do I like always to bear the threats of a hard master, and other things, which are not to be submitted to by a mind and temper like mine. If it be banishment to return to a father's house, and there, exempt from cares, to possess delightful leisure, I will not refuse even the name and the lot of a fugitive, but exultingly enjoy the condition of an exile." As it may amuse some of my readers to see the entire elegy, I will transcribe it in its complete state, with a translation very...

Book Description
Stanley Fish's Surprised by Sin, first published in 1967, set a new standard for Milton criticism and established its author as one of the world's preeminent Milton scholars. The lifelong engagement begun in that work culminates in this book, the magnum opus of a formidable critic and the definitive statement on Milton for our time. How Milton works "from the inside out" is the foremost concern of Fish's book, which explores the radical effect of Milton's theological convictions on his poetry and prose. For Milton the value of a poem or of any other production derives from the inner worth of its author and not from any external measure of excellence or heroism. Milton's aesthetic, says Fish, is an "aesthetic of testimony": every action, whether verbal or physical, is or should be the action of holding fast to a single saving commitment against the allure of plot, narrative, representation, signs, drama--anything that might be construed as an illegitimate supplement to divine truth. Much of the energy of Milton's writing, according to Fish, comes from the effort to maintain his faith against these temptations, temptations which in any other aesthetic would be seen as the very essence of poetic value. Encountering the great poet on his own terms, engaging his equally distinguished admirers and detractors, this book moves a 300-year debate about the significance of Milton's verse to a new level.

Excerpt from The Prose Works of John Milton, Vol. 4 of 7: With Life of the Author HE beginning of nations, thois excepted of whom facrcd books have fpoken, is to this day unknown. Nor only the beginning, but the deeds alfo of many fucceeding ages, yea, periods of ages, either wholly un known, or oblcuied and blemifhed with fables. Whe ther it were that the ufe of letters came in long after, or were it the violence of barbarous inundations, or they themfelves at certain revolutions of time, fatally decaying, and degenerating into floth and ignorance; whereby the monuments of more ancient cility have been fome deltroyed, (ome lol'c. Perhaps difefteem and contempt of the public affairs then prefent, as not worth recording, might partly be in caufe. Certainly ofttlmes we fee that wxfe men, and of bel't ability, have forborn to write the afts of their own days, while they beheld with ajuft loathing and difdain, not only how unworthy, how perverl'e, how corrupt, but often how ignoble, how petty, how below all hiltory the pericus and their actions were; who, either by fortune or fome rude election.
