Synopsis
John Milton: A Biography by Cyrus R. Edmonds. Cyrus R. Edmonds presents a comprehensive nineteenth?century portrait of John Milton, tracing his life from early education in London and Cambridge through his continental travels, his crucial role in the English Civil War, and his emergence as one of England’s greatest poets and public intellectuals. The biography is organized around Milton’s three life epochs: scholarly cultivation, active participation in politics and religious controversy, and a later, contemplative maturity that yielded Paradise Lost and other major works. Edmonds emphasizes Milton’s commitment to religious liberty, his defense of controversial liberties such as unlicensed printing, and his critical stance toward episcopal power and state control of worship. The narrative surveys Milton’s prose and poetry in relation to the era’s upheavals—the Reformation, the Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration—culminating in his later writings on church government, liberty, and education, and concludes with a measured portrait of his character, health, and death in 1674.
