Description
Sir Walter Raleigh, the critic and man of letters, studies Milton in a short life first issued in his English Men of Letters manner. The copy given here is a tenth impression, printed in 1915. Raleigh dedicates it to his lost friend R. A. M. Stevenson.
Contents promise Milton's birth, schooling, early poems, and the intrusion of politics. Raleigh quotes Milton on the reader who brings a judgment equal to the book. Intensity, simplicity, and egotism mark his sense of Milton's temper. The farewell to mirth and the coming of the Restoration close the tale of England's blind epic poet.
