Descrizione

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Altersbedingt etwas vergilbt, Schutzumschlag leicht abgenutzt, sonst guter Zustand / Somewhat yellowed due to age, dust jacket slightly worn, otherwise in good condition. - The present work is the first variorum edition of Milton�s work to be published since that of H. J. Todd, which first appeared in 1801. It is published jointly by Routledge & Kegan Paul and the Columbia University Press, and all texts used are those of the Columbia edition of Milton�s work. In addition to providing interpretative criticism, the variorum commentary provides information of all kinds, from the history and meaning of words to the history and meaning of ideas. The work furnishes a body of variorum notes and discussions uniting all available scholarly illumination of the texts on all levels from the semantic and syntactical to those of deliberate or unconscious echoes of other works in all the languages known to Milton. The annotations in the present volume, on the Latin and Greek poems, incorporate the findings of MacKellar, Fletcher and others, and add others from both ancient and Neo-Latin poetry, from authors hitherto seldom or never cited as well as from the accepted ones. The presentation is illustrative rather than argumentative, and the full display of parallels will help the reader to recognize the climate and the traditional mystique of Neo-Latin verse, and also the scope it gave for modern and individual utterances. The section on the Italian poems discusses the six love poems Milton wrote, probably partly as a compliment to a real woman, but still more as an essay in Italian verse.
