{"product_id":"9781487590895","title":"Awake the Courteous Echo: The Themes Prosody of Comus, Lycidas, and Paradise Regained in World Literature with Translations of the Major Analogues","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Miltonic reference works is the third and final volume in a trilogy dealing with Miltonic analogues. It complements the author's previous compendia of analogues, \u003cem\u003eThe Celestial Cycle\u003c\/em\u003e (on \u003cem\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/em\u003e) and \u003cem\u003eThat Invincible Samson\u003c\/em\u003e (on \u003cem\u003eSamson Agonistes\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThirty-seven years of research in the libraries of the world have unearthed on impressive array of analogues of \u003cem\u003eComus\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLycidas\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eParadise Regained\u003c\/em\u003e; and the more important of these are now made available in Kirkconnell's English translation in \u003cem\u003eAwake the Courteous Echo\u003c\/em\u003e. The book includes 39 analogues of \u003cem\u003eComus\u003c\/em\u003e, 102 of \u003cem\u003eLycidas\u003c\/em\u003e, and 25 of \u003cem\u003eParadise Regained\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese analogues range from the Sumerian Epic of \u003cem\u003eGilgamesh\u003c\/em\u003e to those of Milton's contemporaries. Dr. Kirkconnell's initial concern is not with source hunting, but with analogues as analogues, the Jonsonian masque, the pastoral elegy, and the brief epic. The subtlety, complexity, and powerful originality of Milton's art are here for the reader to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe major analogues in languages other than English are translated in both verse and prose. Both specialists and students of Milton will find this a fascinating and valuable study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176256389360,"sku":"9781487590895","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781487590895_p0.jpg?v=1763636150","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781487590895","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
