John Milton has usually been regarded as 'the other great poet' in English literature, after Shakespeare. He is the only one of the world's great poets also to have been actively engaged in politics. John Milton was born in 1608 and in the late 1630s he travelled to the Continent where he met, among others, Galileo and Grotius. A staunch republican, he served as Latin secretary to Oliver Cromwell during the Commonwealth. After the restoration of Charles II his life was probably saved by his fame as a poet. He was thrice married, his first two wives dying after childbirth. This serious yet accessible biography by a renowed Milton scholar tells the story of Milton's fascinating and troubled life on both the personal and political level.
Edited by William Kerrigan, John Rumrich, and Stephen M. Fallon The legendary author of "Paradise Lost" and other poems was also a superb and provocative prose writer. Culled from Modern Library's definitive "The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton," this indispensable collection, newly edited and authoritatively annotated, features Milton's letters, pamphlets, political tracts, and essays, in which he tackles diverse subjects and takes controversial positions, including notorious defenses of divorce and protests against censorship. With expert analysis, a chronology of the author's life, clean layouts, and a comprehensive index, "The Essential Prose of John Milton" is an invaluable keepsake--a book bound to be a revelation for all readers of this monumental author.
