Samson Agonistes
Samson Agonistes | John Milton
1 post
Samson Agonistes, by John Milton, is a ''tragedy'' written in blank verse. It almost follows the theme of defection of a woman and humiliation suffered by the hero that was touched in Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. With biblical over-tones, the tragedy follows the Greek traditions of Chorus and agony of the hero. An enchanting work that reflects author's own agony of descent into darkness.

‘A little onward lend thy guiding hand ....‘. I hadn‘t read this for nearly forty years, not since I studied it at school for English A Level ... towards the end of the last millennium (which makes it sound even longer ago!). I was pleasantly surprised by how well I remembered it, and how much I could actually quote unprompted. #johnmilton #samsonagonistes #schooldays #book #poetry #books #bookstagram #literature #currentlyreading #eyelessingaza
