Milt1 12.247 1 The discovery of the lost work of Milton, the treatise Of the Christian Doctrine, in 1823, drew a sudden attention to his name.

Milt1 12.247 9 ...the new-found book having in itself less attraction than any other work of Milton, the curiosity of the public as quickly subsided...

Milt1 12.247 22 It was very easy to remark an altered tone in the criticism when Milton reappeared as an author, fifteen years ago...

Milt1 12.248 3 The aspect of Milton, to this generation, will be part of the history of the nineteenth century.

Milt1 12.248 13 The reputation of Milton had already undergone one or two revolutions long anterior to its recent aspects.

Milt1 12.249 3 Milton seldom deigns a glance at the obstacles that are to be overcome before that which he proposes can be done.

Milt1 12.250 27 ...when [Milton] comes to speak of the reason of the thing [Defence of the English People], then he always recovers himself. The voice of the mob is silent, and Milton speaks.

Milt1 12.255 2 ...we think it impossible to recall one in those countries [England, France, Germany] who communicates the same vibration of hope, of self-reverence, of piety, of delight in beauty, which the name of Milton awakens.

Milt1 12.256 4 ...the idea of a purer existence than any he saw around him... inspired every act and every writing of John Milton.

Milt1 12.256 24 For the delineation of this heroic image of man, Milton enjoyed singular advantages.

Milt1 12.258 23 ...foreigners came to England, we are told, to see the Lord Protector and Mr. Milton.

Milt1 12.259 24 Among the advantages of his foreign travel, Milton certainly did not count it the least that it contributed to forge and polish that great weapon of which he acquired such extraordinary mastery,-his power of language.

Milt1 12.261 17 ...Milton was conscious of possessing this intellectual voice...

Milt1 12.262 15 ...as basis or fountain of his rare physical and intellectual accomplishments, the man Milton was just and devout.

Milt1 12.262 24 Among so many contrivances as the world has seen to make holiness ugly, in Milton at least it was so pure a flame that the foremost impression his character makes is that of elegance.

Milt1 12.266 4 To this antique heroism, Milton added the genius of the Christian sanctity.

Milt1 12.266 15 The indifferency of a wise mind to what is called high and low, and the fact that true greatness is a perfect humility, are revelations of Christianity which Milton well understood.

Milt1 12.267 14 ...Milton deserved the apostrophe of Wordsworth;-Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,/ So didst thou travel on life's common way/ In cheerful godliness;.../

Milt1 12.267 21 Johnson petulantly taunts Milton with great promise and small performance, in returning from Italy because his country was in danger, and then opening a private school.

Milt1 12.267 24 Johnson petulantly taunts Milton...in returning from Italy because his country was in danger, and then opening a private school. Milton, wiser, felt no absurdity in this conduct.

Milt1 12.268 23 Thus chosen...for the clear perception of all that is graceful and all that is great in man, Milton was not less happy in his times.

Milt1 12.269 8 Milton...was set down in England in the stern, almost fanatic society of the Puritans.

Milt1 12.274 20 The perception we have attributed to Milton, of a purer ideal of humanity, modifies his poetic genius.

Milt1 12.275 2 Milton's sublimest song...is the voice of Milton still.

Milt1 12.275 19 The most affecting passages in Paradise Lost are personal allusions; and when we are fairly in Eden, Adam and Milton are often difficult to be separated.

Milt1 12.276 20 ...the genius and office of Milton were different [from those of Homer and Shakespeare]...

Milt1 12.277 9 Milton...tasked his giant imagination...for an end beyond, namely, to teach.

MLit 12.321 18 There is in [Wordsworth] that property common to all great poets, a wisdom of humanity, which is superior to any talents which they exert. It is the wisest part of Shakspeare and of Milton.

MLit 12.326 15 Who saw Milton, who saw Shakspeare, saw them do their best...

EurB 12.365 13 [Wordsworth] has the merit of just moral perception, but not that of deft poetic execution. How would Milton curl his lip at such slipshod newspaper style.

EurB 12.365 16 Many of [Wordsworth's] poems...might be all improvised. Nothing of Milton, nothing of Marvell...could be.

EurB 12.366 24 In the debates on the Copyright Bill...Mr. Sergeant Wakley, the coroner, quoted Wordsworth's poetry in derision, and asked the roaring House of Commons...whether a man should have public reward for writing such stuff. Homer, Horace, Milton and Chaucer would defy the coroner.

EurB 12.368 11 [Wordsworth] sat at the foot of Helvellyn and on the margin of Windermere, and took their lustrous mornings and their sublime midnights for his theme, and...not Horace nor Milton nor Dante.
