Product Description

Review

The work allows for teaching feminist teaching as well as Puritan background to English literature. The notes are excellent, very helpful to me as well as to the students."--Pau Sheneman, Miami University

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
TRAGEDY, as it was anciently composed, hath been ever held the gravest, moralest, and most profitable of all other Poems: therefore said by Aristotle to be of power by raising pity and fear, or terror, to purge the mind of those and such like passions, that is, to temper and reduce them to just measure with a kind of delight, stirr'd up by reading or seeing those passions well imitated. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Students, 10 April 1999
By A Customer
I'm a graduate student at the University of Central Florida. I found this book to be the best edition of Milton's Samson Agonistes I've ever seen. It's so good my professor offered to buy it from me. Every page is glossed, and the author provided critical commentary in the back of the book. This book is worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well bound, 21 Mar 2007
Putting aside the very very wonderfulness of the poem itself, I feel as though I must comment on the quality of this edition. It is extremely durable, easy to read, and pocket-sized too: so far I have written an exam and am writing an essay on SA, and the spine shows not even the slightest sign of a crease. £8.50 may sound like a lot for a relatively short poem - but by jiggery, it's worth it!
