[Milton-L] T.S. Eliot and Milton

[dario gomez]

Dear all,

 

I was just taking a look at what other authors have said about Milton and come across what TS Eliot said at the Annual Lecture on a Master Mind: Milton, Proceedings of the British Academy in 1947. He said that “of no other poet is it so difficult to consider the poetry simply as poetry”. I have been trying to search for the full text of Eliot’s lecture but I have not been able to find it on the Internet. Perhaps you can lend me a hand. Basically, I am interested in knowing if Eliot elaborates on the reasons why Milton´s poetry is more than poetry or not. I have the feeling that it must be related to Milton´s ideology, his political and religous views and perhaps his style, but I am not sure.
 
Thank you very much
