Front Cover
Whitston Publishing Company, 1983 - Performing Arts - 101 pages
"This little book is mandatory reading for all students of 'Comus.' It collects a decade of Professor Hunter's work (some previously published, some not) on the historical and dramatic origins of the performance of 'Comus.' Its approach then sharply differs from the usual literary focus, and the results are most illuminatinggiving convicting historic answers for Milton's emphasis on chastity and, through a sound examination of the probabilities of staging and performance, the best discussion I have seen of the textual variants, particularly the transposed song ('From the Heavens Now I fly') of the Attendant Spirit."Medieval & Renaissance Drama in England
