[Milton-L] L'Allegro and Il Penseroso

[Ross Leasure]

I might recommend looking at an article by Donald Dorian in a journal
called _Modern Philology_ (vol. 31) entitled "The Question of
Autobiographical Significance in 'L'Allegro' and 'Il Penseroso'"
(November 1933; pp. 175-182).  Somewhat date, but still pertinent to
your question.  Perhaps a local college library can provide you with a
copy.
