Excerpt from John Milton: An EssayThe Essay on Milton consists of a short account of the discovery and contents of the Christian Doctrine (pp. 1 a criticism of Milton's poems (pp. 4 and a defence of Milton's public conduct (pp. 30 In the course of the essay many of those literary and political problems are discussed which do not admit of a final solution, and to which each generation finds a somewhat different answer. Herein lies one of the chief educational merits of the essay, the student must be prepared throughout to think for himself and form his own conclusions, and it is scarcely necessary to add that, in order to do so, he should study for himself at any rate those portions of Milton's poems which are immediately under consideration. An endeavour is made in the notes to lighten this work by means of references and quota tions, but nothing can take the place of independent reading on the part of the student.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
