  • Looks at Milton’s life, and the cultural background to his work, as well as examining his writing
  • Considers how and why Milton’s work has endured the centuries to educate, entertain and intrigue so many generations of readers
  • Ideal for the reader falling in love with Milton’s poetry and prose, who longs to know more about what people think about the poetry, the man or the historical context
