1634 Cape Comus Enters Finds Lost Milton Scared
EDITORS COMMENTS
Milton's Enchanted Woods: A Tale of Lost Innocence and Dark Enchantment This evocative image captures the moment of encounter between the Lady and Comus in John Milton's 1634 masque, "Comus." Dressed in a flowing cape and clutching a stack of books, the young woman enters the dark, enchanted wood, her expression a mixture of fear and curiosity. The woodland scene is shrouded in mystery and danger, with twisted trees and shadows that seem to reach out and grasp her. Milton's masque, first performed at Ludlow Castle for the wedding celebrations of the future Charles II and Henrietta Maria, tells the story of the Lady, who becomes lost in the woods and is pursued by the mischievous and seductive Comus. The Lady's virtue is tested as Comus attempts to lure her away with his enchantments, but she remains steadfast in her resolve to remain true to her faith and her chastity. This print, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of Milton's work. The image captures the moment of decision, as the Lady steps into the unknown, her books a reminder of the knowledge and wisdom that will guide her through the darkness. The print also serves as a reminder of the power of the imagination, as Milton's words continue to captivate and inspire readers over 400 years after they were first written.
