About this book

An Introduction to the Prose and Poetical Works of John Milton describes itself as comprising all the Autobiographic Passages in his Works, the more Explicit Presentations of his Ideas of True Liberty. The description names COMUS, LYCIDAS, and SAMSON AGONISTES, and says it comes With Notes and Forewords. The text holds that the absolute man was in the ascendent in both Dante and Milton, and that by virtue of that ascendency they are, and ever will continue to be, great educating personalities.

Verse in the book greets pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope and the unblemished form of Chastity. A note explains that the river-god loved the nymph Arethusa, of Elis, whom Diana changed into a fountain in her flight from him.
