Excerpt from Lexicon to the English Poetical Works of John Milton This book was begun in 1895, and the first one hundred and seventy pages were in 1898 presented to the Philosophical Faculty of Yale University as a doctoral thesis. These pages were also, during the latter year, put through the press. In 1902 the work was resumed on the book, and it is but now brought to completion. The long time intervening between the beginning and end will account for some slight differences in form and treatment between the first and last parts. In the arrangement and classification of meanings I have chiefly followed the New English Dictionary. Every occurrence of each word is recorded, except in the case of certain words that appear very frequently; these are given in all their meanings, but starred to show that not every instance under each category is noted. Recognizing the fact that a grammar of Milton is also needed, I have included some grammatical observations looking toward such a book; but the treatment of the syntax does not pretend to be complete. I have noted the accent of words where it differs from the modern prose accent. I have used the text of the Globe edition, retaining the modern spelling, because the book is primarily intended for those who to-day care to understand the thought of Milton. I have added the bit of translation from Ariosto. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A preeminent figure of English literature, the seventeenth century poet John Milton wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, while serving as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England and later under Oliver Cromwell. His most famous work, the epic poem ‘Paradise Lost’ (1667) is widely considered to be one of the greatest works of literature ever written. A diverse, intellectual and bilingual author, Milton achieved international renown within his lifetime. His celebrated prose work ‘Areopagitica’ (1644), written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship, still stands as one of the most influential defences of freedom of speech and the press. Milton introduced many new words to the English language and was the first modern writer to employ unrhymed verse outside of the theatre or translations. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting.

Marjorie Nicolson—one of the foremost authorities on Milton—examines Milton's work, beginning with the famous Minor Poems, "L'Allegro," "II Penseroso," "Comus" (and "Arcades"), and "Lycides." She explores Milton's middle years, when he was diverted from poetry to become Latin Secretary under Oliver Cromwell. Finally, she looks at the great poems, including a book-by-book analysis of Paradise Lost and a careful reading of Milton's poetic "closet drama," Samson Agonistes.
