This review is from: Eden Renewed: The Public and Private Life of John Milton (Hardcover)
Peter Levi is an English poet, and for the most part he writes lively if occasionally sloppy prose. It's hard to tell who this biography of John Milton, the great Puritan poet, has been written for, however. Scholars will shun it for its total lack of documentation and its spotty detail. Average readers, wanting to know more about Milton and his times, will find it both condescending at times and frustratingly abstruse at others. Levi's greatest strength are his openly judgmental evaluations of the poems; perhaps he should have published those judgments on their own as a brief "appreciation" of Milton.
