Milton's Theory of Poetry and Fine Art: An Essay, with a Collection of Illustrative Passages from His Works (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Milton's Theory of Poetry and Fine Art: An Essay, With a Collection of Illustrative Passages From His Works

Briefly stated, my purpose in this volume has been to assemble Milton's references to poetry and the other fine arts, and as far as possible to formulate his poetics.' The study was first undertaken for a doctoral dissertation at Cornell University, and, as originally carried out under the supervision of Professor Lane Cooper, was submitted to that end, and accepted in June, 1912. During the last few years, as opportunity permitted, I have revised and eu larged it, while constantly indebted to Professor Cooper for generous and valuable assistance. Whatever merit the book may possess is in great part the result of his interest.
