Lycidas is a pastoral elegy by John Milton, written in 1637 and first published in 1638 in a collection of elegies. It is a lament for the death of Edward King, a fellow student at Cambridge who drowned in the Irish Sea. Lycidas is considered one of the greatest short poems in the English language. Also included is Milton's Hymn on the Nativity, a complex and beautiful early work that showcases the poet's evolving style and profound religious devotion. These works exemplify Milton's mastery of language and form, solidifying his place as one of the most important poets in the English canon. This edition offers readers a chance to engage with Milton's profound meditations on loss, faith, and the power of poetry.
