So I've given this first lecture a title, the title being "Milton, Power, and the Power of Milton," because any introduction to Milton has to confront the long-standing conviction in English letters of Milton's power or his strength as a poet.

所以我给这第一场讲座起名叫做，米尔顿，力量，以及米尔顿的力量“,因为只要要介绍米尔顿，就无法绕开,米尔顿作为诗人的力量,这一英国文学一直以来的话题。

现在我们已经讨论了几个星期了,弥尔顿长期坚持的项目像净化世俗利益,净化世俗的文学看法的影响,对他文学意识诱惑，其中有一个看法显然是莎士比亚的。
