Excerpt from The Ridpath Library of Universal Literature a Biographical and Bibliographical Summary<br/><br/>Confined and pestered in this pinfold here, Strive to keep up a frail and feverish being, Unmindful of the crown that Virtue gives, After this mortal change, to her true servants Amongst the enthroned gods on sainted seats. Yet some there be that by due steps aspire To lay their just hands on the golden key That opes the palace of eternity.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and work of John Milton, an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. Milton, who is best known for his epic poem 'Paradise Lost', was an exceptionally gifted writer and resolute defender of individual liberty, republicanism, and freedom of speech. Having lost his eyesight in middle age, he continued to compose many of his greatest works by dictation. Engaging with a range of perspectives on his writing, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Milton's life as both a literary icon and a vigorously active participant in the political and religious debates of his time. Through detailed textual analysis of his major works, as well as his personal and state papers, this book sheds new light on the relationship between Milton's personal convictions and his creative output, revealing him not only to be a devout Christian, but also a complex and often contradictory character. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330897508_0
