This is the concluding lecture in my Introduction to John Milton. It looks at the last major work of the poet, a tragedy intended to be read and not performed.

I begin by looking at the irony of the title "Samson the Champion" in light of Samson's circumstances, and an explanation in the theology of the cross.
