In The Value of Milton, leading critic John Leonard explores the
writings of John Milton from his early poetry to his major prose.
Milton's work includes one of the most difficult and challenging
texts in the English literary canon, yet he remains impressively
popular with general readers. Leonard demonstrates why Milton has
enduring value for our own time, both as a defender of political
liberty and as a poet of sublimity and terror who also exhibits
moments of genuine humanity and compassion. A poet divided against
himself, Milton offers different rewards to different readers. The
Value of Milton examines not only the significance of his most
celebrated verse but also the function of biblical allegory,
classical culture, and the moods, voice and language that give
Milton's writings their perennial appeal.
