Blue-grey cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. viii, 218 p.p. Bumping to spine ends and a stain to top edge of text block, else a fine copy. Dust jacket has some bumping and chipping to edges, spine ends and corners, a few short tears, some lightly soiled patches to covers. Jacket is price clipped.

The author has gone back in every instance to primary sources, and examined all treatments of Milton's theme, in all languages, for their intrinsic interest and merit.
