Regarded by many as the equal of Shakespeare in poetic imagination and expression, Milton was also a prolific writer of prose, applying his potent genius to major issues of domestic, religious and political liberty. This superbly annotated new publication is the most authoritative single-volume anthology yet of Milton's major prose works.
- Uses Milton's original language, spelling and punctuation
- Freshly and extensively annotated
- Notes provide unrivalled contextual analysis as well as illuminating the wealth of Milton's allusions and references
- Will appeal to a general readership as well as to scholars across the humanities
“.…will ensure that Milton’s prose continues to challenge and reward the kind of active, discerning readership that Milton himself courted.”
(Renaissance Quarterly, 1 July 2014)
"Milton's extraordinary prose, extensively represented in David Loewenstein's ambitious edition, has gained many new readers in recent years, and it may be true that some students, at least in British schools and universities, read Tenure of Kings and Magistrates before, or even instead of, the great poetry."
