{"product_id":"selected-poems-milton","title":"Selected Poems: Milton","description":"The poems of John Milton (1608-74) have inspired readers for generations and the selection in this new edition spans his entire career, from his earliest works to the magnificent epics of his later life. The devotional ‘On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity’, his first great poem, anticipates the probing religious questions of \u003ci\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/i\u003e. Works such as ‘L’Allegro’ and ‘Il Penseroso’ consider divisions of loyalties, while ‘A Masque’ (‘Comus’) explores Milton’s great theme of temptation, and the pastoral elegy ‘Lycidas’ contemplates mortality and the meaning of human life. This volume includes considerable selections from \u003ci\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParadise Regained -\u003c\/i\u003e Milton’s late epics on the Fall of Man and Christ’s temptation in the wilderness - and the complete \u003ci\u003eSamson Agonistes\u003c\/i\u003e, in which the great hero undergoes a profound crisis of faith in his final hours.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220772901208,"sku":"9780140424416","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780140424416_7475807f-f6f2-4511-93c5-2d1cb410ab01.jpg?v=1764429327","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/selected-poems-milton","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
