Patrick Cheney, Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 Kastan's prose is not just lively but chiseled, and it is destined to affect students. Students and scholars alike will appreciate the balanced approach to the complexities, difficulties, and conundrums of Milton's poem and the criticism on it.
