Beschreibung
Milton's masque Comus, first performed at Ludlow Castle in 1634, is an exploration of how to live: should we submit to our base animal instincts, however enjoyable the experience, or instead apply sophisticated human values and morals to our existence and interaction with others. Milton comes down firmly in favour of the latter approach, but presents well-stated and persuasive counter-arguments for the former, in an engaging and magical entertainment.
Also included in this edition are Milton's early poems Ode on the Morning of Christ's Nativity, Lycidas, L'Allegro and Il Penseroso.

Über den Autor
John Milton (9 December 1608 - 8 November 1674) was an English poet and intellectual, who served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667).

Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica (1644), written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship, is among history's most influential and impassioned defences of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. His desire for freedom extended into his style: he introduced new words (coined from Latin) to the English language, and was the first modern writer to employ non-rhymed verse outside of the theatre or translations.

William Hayley's 1796 biography called him the greatest English author, and he remains generally regarded as one of the preeminent writers in the English language, though critical reception has oscillated in the centuries since his death (often on account of his republicanism). Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as "a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind," though he (a Tory and recipient of royal patronage) described Milton's politics as those of an "acrimonious and surly republican." Poets such as William Blake, William Wordsworth and Thomas Hardy revered him.
