Well I as it turns out I purchased The Riverside Milton. A great investment I'd say, nowt hat I've babbled in it over and over-hardly recognizable.
As I'm studying his greater works, I have to ask, why is he so unknown? He presents very valid arguments in his Areopagitica and L'Allegro vs. Il Penseroso are very common contrasts that apply to many literary aspects. Not to mention Paradise Lost and the obvious reference to reclaiming Eden.
Anyone have any valid ideas as to why John Milton isn't so well known?
