This book arrived very quickly and was like new.
I have found it very useful as it features a series of different articles covering different aspects of the text. Although it is an academic book, it is a stonking good read. Highly recommended.

Remarkably clear and helpful

I never understood what all the fuss about Milton was about until I read this book. His times, his politics, his personality and his work are all illuminated in these essays.

A Splendid Overview
23 May 2011
By C. C. Black
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a novice to Milton studies, I could be deceived by the quality of the essays collected here. Nevertheless, they read to me as informative, well-judged, well-documented introductions to the broad array of social, political, religious, and biographical dimensions of Milton's work. The balance of scholarly opinion seems to me good; the book is well edited and produced with the sheen that one expects of Cambridge University Press. One also expects CUP volumes, even in softcovers, to be overpriced. I purchased a "Like New" edition at an affordable price, was not deceived by the seller, and am clam-happy.
