Early critics like Dryden and Marvell established the foundational appreciation for Milton’s epic style, though later figures like Samuel Johnson offered harsher critiques of his shorter works and political views.

This study of the Elizabethan influences remaining in the spoken language of the people of Allen County, Kentucky, is an outgrowth of discussion in the English classes of Dr. Gordon Wilson, Western Kentucky State Teachers College, concerning the folklore of the present-day rural people of Kentucky.

I shall endeavor to show the process by which the Church itself, through the introduction of dramatic elements into its liturgy came to make its appeal to mimetic instinct, out of which grew the great popular religious dramas of the miracle plays, with its offshoots in the moralities and dramatic pageants.
