| Publisher Description: In this book Mr. Martindale examines the use Milton made of ancient poets, and the way they influenced his style. Some surprising ingredients in the style of IParadise Lost are uncovered Horace, for example. The book is a rare combination of scholarship, both classical and English, and critical judgment. R |
