"Flannagan is eminently qualified to explain the greatness ofEnglish poet John Milton - and he's marvelously successful inachieving his goal[...]Fresh, fluent and witty, Flannagan'streatment is thoroughly informed by the insights of currentliterary insights and is rendered without jargon." LibraryJournal

"This is historically informed criticism delivered with alight and generally assured touch and, most successfully, Flannaganretains a clear focus on disclosing what is remarkable aboutMilton, what makes him worth the modern readers' attention... Flannagan has produced a helpful, lively - andintelligently illustrated - little book, to which students may withconfidence be directed." Milton Quarterly
