Milton's Late Poems

Discover a fresh perspective on John Milton's significant late works in Milton's Late Poems by Lee Morrissey. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2022, this hardback edition spans 280 pages and offers an engaging exploration of modernity through Milton's poetry. Morrissey presents a radically transhistorical view, interpreting Milton's major late poems as narratives that reflect three distinct responses to a tumultuous world: adjustment, avoidance, and antagonism. This insightful analysis not only challenges traditional historicist approaches to Milton's work but also invites readers to reconsider the broader implications for early modern studies. Ideal for scholars and enthusiasts alike, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Milton's enduring relevance in today's literary landscape.
