In good condition. - This is the first complete annotated edition of Miltons poetry available in a one-volume paperback. The text has been established from original sources-holograph or scribal copy in some instances, first publication in others. Collations of all known manuscripts have been made for each poem, and each work is arranged chronologically with the sequence explained; alterations from the basic texts are minimal; and verbal variants from all texts are recorded. Included here are Miltons works in Latin, Greek, and Italian, along with new, literal translations by the editor. -- JOHN T. SHAWCROSS is Professor of English at the University of Kentucky.
