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

[Beverley Sherry]

Mr Dario Escudero,
 
the complete lecture is published in James Thorpe, ed. Milton Criticism: Selections from Four Centuries (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1951), pp. 310-32.  It was published with some deletions as "Milton II" in Eliot's collection of essays, On Poetry and Poets (London: Faber and Faber, 1957).

  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
   
  Dario Gomez Escudero (Warsaw)
