Original and lively book showing how Milton used words in the extraordinary ways he did. After an account of Milton's writing life, Patterson discusses keywords - the keys to a text or a theory; words of sexual avoidance and distress; words of abuse; words privileged because 'Scripture'; learned words; and cunning little words, easily overlooked.
