The poetic style of  the writer John Milton, is  known as Miltonic verse

Explanation:

  • Milton follows the traditional epic form, giving the reader the supernatural,  war and love,  a catalogue of warriors, and. Yet that tells us little about its style. Milton's style is dense, complex sentences packed with metaphors and similes , Baroque, and over-flowing with rich images and descriptions
  • It is the opposite of stark and modesty. rather, Milton struts his stuff, including his skill with language, his sense of the importance of his subject,  his extensive knowledge, and his unabashed exuberance
  • In particular, Miltonic used blank verse (poetry written with regular metrical but un-rhymed lines) which became the standard for those attempting to write English epics for centuries
  • Milton’s blank verse is very conservative and easy to scan. It is a testament to Milton’s skill and his careful phrasing  and beautiful language, triumphs over his monotonous metre – in several cases subtly disrupting it sans violating it
