Synopsis
Four hundred years after the birth of one of England's greatest poets, John Milton, the outstanding Australian poet, John Kinsella, has written a contemporary version of Comus, the masque that was commissioned by John, Earl of Bridgwater and performed for him at Ludlow Castle in 1634. This volume presents both Kinsella's new 'Dialogic Mask' and Milton's seminal original (taken from the published edition of 1645) with additional comment by John Kinsella and an illuminating introductory essay by Dr. Tim Cribb of the Cambridge University Marlowe Society.

Born in London, he attended St. Paul's School and Christ's College, Cambridge, where he started to write poetry. 'Comus' was completed and first performed in the period after he left university.
