Excellent biography

Though not a Milton scholar, I do appreciate this biography's up-to-date scholarly apparatus--one could follow those notes for years--and attention to detail. But the plus is that the book is well written from a narrative standpoint. This is a satisfying work for anyone who loves Milton's poetry and wants to know something about the life and the world that produced it.
