An accessible, helpful guide for any student of Milton, whether
undergraduate or graduate, introducing readers to the scope of
Milton's work, the richness of its historical relations, and the range
of current approaches to it. This second edition contains several new
and revised essays, reflecting increasing emphasis on Milton's
politics, the social conditions of his authorship and the climate in
which his works were published and received, a fresh sense of the
importance of his early poems and Samson Agonistes, and the changes
wrought by gender studies on the criticism of the previous decade. By
contrast with other introductions to Milton, this Companion gathers an
international team of scholars, whose informative, stimulating and
often argumentative essays will provoke thought and discussion in and
out of the classroom. The Companion's reading lists and extended
bibliography offer readers the necessary tools for further informed
exploration of Milton studies.
