From Library Journal:
Drawing on earlier biographies and Milton scholarship, Levi (fellow, St. Catherine's Coll., Oxford; Edward Lear, S. & S., 1995) offers a popular account of the life and work of the great 17th-century poet John Milton. Levi breaks no new ground. His discussion of the major works, such as Paradise Lost, is largely limited to plot summary and brief comment. Writing in an older tradition of British biography, he is opinionated, eccentric, witty, and very entertaining but, finally, not very useful. There is no bibliography, though Levi occasionally refers to selected secondary works that he finds useful. For academic libraries with comprehensive Milton collections.?Thomas L. Cooksey, Armstrong State Coll., Savannah, Ga.
