[Milton-L] Seventeenth-Century Brit Lit Textbooks

[Jeffrey Shoulson]

I've tried a number of different anthologies over the years.  None of  
them are perfect (and I can't imagine one that would be perfect for  
everyone).  Most recently, I've been using the Broadview Anthology of  
Seventeenth-Century Verse & Prose, edited by Rudrum, Black , and  
Nelson.  It offers a pretty diverse range of texts, including a good  
deal of less-frequently anthologized material.  For Milton it offers  
the Nativity Ode, L'Allegro and Il Penseroso, Lycidas, a selection of  
the major sonnets, Samson Agonistes, Areopagitica, Of True Religion,  
and the intro to Book two of The Reason of Church Government (no  
Paradise Lost at all).
