Additions to the Portable Library need no introduction, so well have these compact, well designed small volumes established themselves. The Introduction to the Milton is an interesting appraisal of Milton's story in relation to his work; his philosophy as a product of the European tradition and a dynamic mind and personality, his political, social and religious thinking. A Bibliography and Chronology add to student value. Included of Milton's works are Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, Samson Agonistes, Comus, and a number of the early poems and sonnets; and, from his prose works, Areopagitica complete, and selections from other works.
