THE POEMS OF JOHN MILTONEnglish SeriesWith Introduction and Notes by JAMES HOLLY HANFORDGeneral Editor Ernest Bernbaum _________________ Hardcover no dust jacket; 582 pages; Size Approx. 5 X 7 1/4.Published by The Ronald Press Company; Copyright 1936. 1946, Eighth Printing.Details: « John Milton, eldest son of John Milton, Scrivener, was born on December 9, 1608, in his father’s home in Bread Street at the sign of the Spread Eagle. The elder Milton, disinherited by his father for transferring his allegiance from the Catholic to the Protestant Church, had been an uncommonly successful lawyer and had made something of a fortune. He was a man of considerable culture, particularly in music, and the poet owed to him his early enthusiasm for art and learning. The mother is spoken of as noted in the neighborhood for piety and good works. There were two other children in the family, an elder sister, Anne, and a brother, Christopher. There is some evidence that the poet was more warmly attached to the former than to the latter. In general the atmosphere of the Milton household must have been a favorable one for the formation and development of genius. Milton found with his parents security and peace, and he preferred his father’s house to all other places, even after he had reached maturity. Milton’s intellectual precocity was early recognized and carefully cherished. Educational opportunity was provided for him, first by private tutors at home, then at St. Paul’s School, which he entered in 1620. He was, according to Aubrey, ‘a poet at the age of 10,’ and Milton himself refers to the notice which his early writings attracted from his elders: ‘After I had for my first years, by the ceaseless diligence and care of my father (whom God recompense!), been exercised to the tongues and some sciences, as my age would suffer, by sundry masters and teachers, both at home and at the school, it was found that whether aught was imposed me by those that had the overlooking, or betaken to of my own choice in English, or other tongue, prosing or versing, but chiefly this latter, the style, by certain vital signs it had, was likely to life.’ » (from the Introduction) The book has a blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. A fine addition for your bookshelf!Condition: The book is showing light edge wear; the spine is somewhat darkened; there is a name and address written in the front; otherwise, the book is in good condition with a firm binding and clean pages. Note: The letter/number at the end of the title line for this listing is just an inventory code for locating the book.ShippingFree Domestic Economy Shipping!Check out my other items!Be sure to add me to your favorites list!About Us:Rivendell Antiquarian Books sells used rare, vintage and collectable books predominantly from pre 1970. We have been sellers of antiquarian books for over 20 years, and our experience helps ensure quality descriptions of our rare and collectable books. Be assured that we want your experience with Rivendell Antiquarian Books to be enjoyable and problem free.

We appreciate the impact a good book can have. We know the excitement of a new page turner, or the familiar joy of an old favorite, and we find satisfaction in putting older, and often scarce books in the hands of people who have the same love for old books that we do.Customer Service:Rivendell Antiquarian Books is committed to ensuring each customer is entirely satisfied with their puchase and our service. If you have any issues or concerns please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.Our books have been inspected carefully by hand by experienced book valuers to ensure the condition description is as accurate as possible for this exact copy pictured. If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!Packaging:We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner « box » which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.Delivery: We aim to get all books shipped within 24 hours of order except on weekends. We can’t control the delivery time once a book leaves our hands, but most of the time USPS is prompt in delivery, and the expected delivery time given by eBay is usually fairly accurate. Because we use media mail to keep costs down, it does take a little longer for delivery, and occasionally packages get delayed in the mail system. If for some reason your order has not arrived within the expected time frame, please get in contact with us so that we can try to help you.
