Bøker av Robert Thomas Fallon

This study of Milton's decade in government uses the State Papers. It examines international affairs and analyses the government bureaucracy that conceived and articulated foreign policy during the 1650s. Milton's State Letters reveal his knowledge of international affairs.

In this book, Robert Fallon examines the influence of John Milton's political experience on his great poems, "Paradise Lost", "Paradise Regained" and "Samson Agonistes". It is a sequel to his previous book, "Milton in Government".

In his customary jargon-free style, Mr. Fallon examines sixty prominent characters from Shakespeare's plays. He locates each of them in the story of their play, relates them to other characters, shows how they change (or don't), and sums up their character and nature. "This book is as handy as they come...distilled without being dunderheaded-reader-friendly in the extreme." American Theatre (on A Theatergoer's Guide to Shakespeare).
