Reviews

"In The End of Learning: Milton and Education, Thomas Festa offers an impressively learned exploration of the meaning of education as theme, practice, and motive in Milton's poetry and prose!Festa's book represents a critically important contribution to our understanding of Milton's poetry and what it means to historicize poetic education." -- Julian Koslow, Virginia Tech University, Modern Philology
