Milton Details
"Milton" is an epic poem by William Blake, written and illustrated between 1804 and 1810. Its hero is John Milton, who returns from Heaven and unites with Blake to explore the relationship between living writers and their predecessors, and to undergo a mystical journey to correct his own spiritual errors.
Reviews
This is a beautiful book. Blake's illuminated works are spectacular, and Milton is one of the most impressive. The production values are every high, and the supplementary materials--the introduction, the commentary, the letter press text and the scholarly apparatus that goes with it--are invaluable. I will use this edition when I teach this poem in the future.
