The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton (Modern Library (Hardcover)) Hardcover – November 13, 2007

I Enjoy much of what I have read by Milton, and for my birthday this year I asked for a hardback book with both Paradise Lost and Regained, This was the only one with a photo and good description of it. As it was the only book that could be found on Amazon with the two books, this is the book I received, WOW, I no longer need any other of my paperbacks of Miltons works, this has them all. I am not the person to look to for proper this and proper that, nor about the translation or other things like that, I am the person that can tell you the stories are in there and it as near as I can tell the pretty much the same as the other 2 versions I own, no noticeable difference.

Gorgeous edition, with gorgeous commentary and textual notes of one of my favorite authors. It suits someone with an interest in scholarship moreso than someone with a casual interest, so I would keep that in mind. It’s also immensely bulky considering the amount of his works are crammed in, but that’s a small price to pay for something so comprehensive (tho if you can’t or don’t want a massive edition, you’re better off getting smaller texts). Great stuff!

Hey I got the kindle version for school, i never do reviews but i was super excited with this one. The footnotes are just like the book dont believe the other reviews. This is GREAT FOR COLLEGE GUYS YOU DONT HAVE TO KEEP FLIPPING PAGES FOR THE FOOTNOTES THE KINDLE VERSION IS A HEAVEN SENT THE FOOTNOTES ARE RIGHT THEIR FOR YOU TO CLICK TRUST ME OTHER STUDENTS HAVE THIS BIG BULKY UGLY BOOK AND THE KINDLE VERSION ROCKS THEY ARE ALL JEALOUS AHAHAAH

Excellent, with great notes that are properly linked in Kindle. The editors "adjusted" some original spelling and punctuation, but have generally kept a low profile and allowed Milton's language to stand (almost) untouched. A reasonable trade for the fine scholarship.

needed the physical copy for this as a i have the kindle version which i don’t like for a multitude of reasons and this has been a great addition to my catalog of books. of course, for me, it’s for my class but it is a good book of milton’s work.the kindle version is good but i don’t like kindles interface and it glitches a lot so i just decided to get the physical as well.- doesn’t highlight words correctly, doesn’t sync up where you left off

Arrived in p much pristine condition, no pages marked up or anything like that. The only issue was how long it took initially (not quite in time for the first few weeks of class), but I was able to make do with online resources until then so otherwise it's all good.

The copious notes are quite stunning. As a psychotherapist I read this as a parable of emotional development. I read it following the recommendation of Wilfred Bion.

This is it, finally, a worthy successor to the Merritt Hughes edition of Milton. Excellent footnotes and introductions, a great selection of prose. This is all the Milton that most of us will ever need. A nicely bound solid volume. A desert island book if ever there were one. The pages are thick enough (not like the Norton Anthologies, for example, which has pages so thin you can see right through them). At a quite reasonable price too.
