"A splendid student edition. Remarkably fresh and uncluttered, it offers strong historical context as well as specific linguistic guidance for the modern reader. Priority goes to the poetry and the decision to return to original spelling proves no hindrance but rather seems to deepen the reader's engagement with the texts.
An important and innovative edition of Milton's shorter verse & the first volume to present the poems with the original spelling and pronunciations intact, offering readers the opportunity to experience the vitality of the poems as they were experienced by Milton's contemporaries:

Includes Milton's original Latin poems, with a new English translation on facing pages for cross-comparison
Serves as a companion to Lewalski's Paradise Lost and Loewenstein's prose selections of Milton
Features both collected and uncollected poetry in English, Latin, and Greek, the latter two with translations
Retains original spelling and punctuation of Milton's 1645 Poems and his 1671 Paradise Regained and Sampson Agonistes
Offers readers comprehensive footnotes, marginal glosses, chronology, bibliography, and longer discussions in introductions to sections

The Editor Stella P. Revard is Professor Emerita of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, with a PhD in English Literature from Yale University. Her two previous books on Milton, The War in Heaven: Paradise Lost and the Tradition of Satan’s Rebellion (1980) and Milton and the Tangles of Neaera’s Hair: The Making of the 1645 Poems (1997), won Hanford awards from the Milton Society of America.
