Description
A two-volume history of the criticism of John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, tracing the major debates as they have unfolded over the past three centuries.
Review from previous edition To describe it as 'fine grained' would be an understatement ... Leonard is one of the greatest Milton scholars working today.
The chapter on Milton's universe is a superior critical monograph in its own right. No one should attempt to study Milton without reference to Leonard's study.
Faithful Labourers is a monumental achievement of scholarship ... As a close reader of Milton's poem, Leonard is without equal. . . The forthright, idiomatic vigour of his style, leavened with wit and playfulness, might well provide the model for a new kind of academic writing.
these volumes deserve to be on any serious Miltonists bookshelf.
Faithful Labourers is one of the most sustainedly informative and carefully pondered single-authored academic books on Milton's Paradise Lost ever to have been published.
the most impressive work of Milton scholarship since William Riley Parker's 1968 biography.
John Leonard was educated at the University of Cambridge (BA 1980, PhD 1986) and moved to Canada in 1987. He has taught at the University of Western Ontario since 1987. He has twice won the Milton Society of America's James Holly Hanford Award: once for 'most distinguished book published on Milton' (1990) and once for 'most distinguished article' (2000).
