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 Browse Sample Pages

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Great for Students, 10 April 1999 By A Customer This review is from: Samson Agonistes (English Classics) (Paperback) 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!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Well bound, 22 Mar 2007 By  W.A. Holjenns "Franciscus Junius" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews 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!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
