William Shullenberger's Lady in the Labyrinth is a groundbreaking study that places Milton's Comus in brilliant new light. The author... rewards the reader again and again with unexpected discovery. Shullenberger's lucid, rhythmic, graceful prose is free from jargon or gratuitous abstraction, passionate in its commitments. Milton could not have asked for an interpreter more sympathetic or responsive, or more imaginatively alive to the lady's experience than this.
