Franklin Library: MILTON: PARADISE LOST: SAMSON AGONISTES: AREOPAGITICA: 25TH

Description: Franklin Library leather edition of John Milton's "English Minor Poems, Paradise Lost, Samson Agonistes, Areopagitica" a limited edition, Illustrated with twenty-seven water-color drawings by William Blake, one of the 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE WESTERN WORLD series, published in 1978. Bound in brown leather, the book has camel tan moire silk end leaves, satin book marker, acid -free paper, hubbed spine, and gold gilding on three edges---in near FINE condition. John Milton, who lived from 1608-1674, graduated from CAMBRIDGE and began writing. This volume includes his English Minor Poems including "On the Morning of Christs Nativity," "The Hymn," "On Time," "Upon the Circumcision," "An Epitaph on the Marchioness of Winchester," "On Shakespear," "Psalm," "At a Solemn Musick," "L'Allegro," "Lycidas," "Arcades," and Others. Around 1637, he became absorbed over the theme of original sin. He brooded over ADAM and EVE, over their expulsion from Eden, over GOD and the Archangel MICHAEL, over the influence of SATAN upon Eve and upon Eve's descendants. These thoughts were to bear fruit in "Paradise Lost," the greatest modern epic. The great work, begun in some form as early as 1640, drew for its strength upon every element of Milton's intellectual and spiritual background. Echoing in its larger context the epics of HOMER and VIRGIL, Milton's poem achieves its singular power through the poet's innovative treatment of the old and the new. Also included is his play "Samson Agonistes," and "Areopagitica," the greatest defense of 'freedom of the press' ever written! Milton wrote: "And as for regulating the Press, let no man think to have the honour of advising ye better than yourselves. . .Truth is strong, next to the Almighty. She needs no policies, nor stratagems, nor licensings to make her victorious." 504 pages----the BEST OF MILTON! I offer Combined shipping.
