This volume contains the principal English poems of Milton's youth and
early manhood, most of the sonnets written during the Puritan
Revolution, when he was chiefly engaged in arguing public questions in
prose, and Samson Agonistes, published three years before his death.
Includes "Comus," "Lycidas," "L'Allegro," "Il Penseroso," "On the
Morning of Christ's Nativity," and other shorter poems. With an
introduction by Editor A. E. Baker, this edition also contains a list of
principal dates in the life of Milton and a selected bibliography.
