Images and Themes in Five Poems by Milton
Rosemond Tuve
This book consists of an introductory essay and four studies: on “L’Allegro” and “Il Penseroso,” the Hymn on the Nativity, “Lycidas,” and Comus. The author approaches each poem through the study of the themes implicit in the poem’s imagery. Unlike other books on the same subject, this study does not explicate the poems image by image; rather it reveals the presence of a central or thematic large figure, and tells enough about the traditional uses and meanings to give the reader a fresh approach to Milton’s work.
In “L’Allegro” and “Il Penseroso” we see Milton using typical Renaissance materials, the allegorized Graces and the Neo-Platonized figure of Saturn’s daughter, Melancholy, as Erwin Panofsky has studied her in the work of Dürer and Ficino, a type of the contemplative life. Then, in the Nativity Hymn, which like several other Renaissance poems in other languages is about the Incarnation rather than about Christmas Eve, three or four great pre-Christian and Christian symbols are interwoven. The great pastoral figures make “Lycidas” a poem entirely grounded in metaphor. Comus is studied as a masque.
Rosemond Tuve has blended her own style with that of Milton’s in the finest fashion of scholarly analysis and writing.
