Produktbeschreibung

In 'Milton's Comus,' John Milton explores themes of morality, temptation, and virtue through poetic language and complex characters. Written in the 17th century, the play showcases Milton's mastery of blank verse and his deep understanding of classical literature, making it a significant piece in the literary context of the time. The story follows a virtuous young woman who is tempted by Comus, a figure representing temptation and corruption, but ultimately triumphs through her steadfastness and virtue. The play is a compelling blend of drama, poetry, and moral allegory that resonates with readers even centuries later. As one of Milton's lesser-known works, 'Comus' provides valuable insight into his evolving style and themes, making it a noteworthy addition to his body of work.

Autorenporträt

John Milton (1608 - 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, man of letters and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse. Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime and his celebrated Areopagitica (1644)-written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship-is among history's most influential and impassioned defenses of free speech and freedom of the press.
