It is hard to overstate the role that John Milton plaved in the historical, political and literarv controversies of seventeenth centurv England; his writings and verv life challenged the status quo. Living through one ol the most tumultuous periods in British history, Milton was involved at every turn. Struggling to reconcile his private beliefs with his involvement with a radical political experiment, a republic which involved the killing ot the monarch, his star rose and fell several times during his lile. Married three times, struck blind at a cruelly earlv age, he was a lamed pamphleteer and political activist whose revolutionarv political credos placed him in mortal danger alter the Restoration. Milton’s varied life makes lor lascinating reading but it also produced some of the most important poetry in the English language. Paradise Lost, the onlv poem in English recognized as an epic, challenged conventional thinking on widespread topics Irom religion and gender equality to the lundamental question ol whv we behave as we do. This lascinating new biographe is divided into two parts. The first separates the man Irom the mvth. and elucidates the complicated details ol Milton s lile Irom his earlv vears as a literarv artist uncertain ot his destiny, through his work as a propagandist lor the Cromwellian republic, to his rewriting ol the Old Testament story of the Fall as a poetic allegory ol more recent history. The second looks at how biographers and critics Irom the seventeenth centurv to the present dav have distorted and manipulated the personalita՜ ol Milton to suit
their biases. Balancing accessibility with academic rigor, this volume: Examines the significant aspects ol Milton s lile and work, including his poem՜ and prose, his government writings, his travels, and his final years Explores Milton’s Protestant and republican influences in Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and his other literara՜ avorks Highlights the differences and similarities between Milton s poetry and political prose Foliosvs the history ol biographical and critical presentations ol Milton irom the seventeenth centura՜ ontaards, including his adoption as a hero ol Romanticism and his survival in the twentieth centura՜ as, allegedly, a sceptical humanist Addresses modern critiques ol Milton in Marxism, Feminism, and other branches ol Theory lhe Life of the Author: Joien Milton. Poet and Revolutionary is essential reading lor undergraduate and graduate students, university lecturers, and academic researchers in releaunt fields, particularly seventeenth centura՜ poetrv and history, as aveli as literara՜ biography and the history ol criticism.
