Complete Sonnets and Selected Shorter Poems by John Milton..John Milton (1608-74) is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language ever. Typical of accomplished men of his day, he was renowned in a number of fields- a poet, polemicist, man of letters and civil servant in the Commonwealth of England. Among his many great literary works are the sonnets- nineteen drawn from two volumes (1645 and 1673), and five which were uncollected. Not least among his prized work, they have helped cement his justly deserved place at the pinnacle of English literature. This volume also contains six of his shorter poems.
"On Time"
"An Epitaph on the Marchioness of Winchester"
"On May Morning"
"On Shakespear"
