The Life of John Milton by Richard Garnett is a comprehensive biography of the famous English poet, polemicist, and civil servant. The book traces Milton's life from his early years as a student at Cambridge University, through his involvement in the English Civil War, to his later years as a blind and impoverished writer. Garnett's biography provides a detailed account of Milton's literary output, including his most famous works such as Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes. The book also explores Milton's political and religious beliefs, which were often controversial and put him at odds with the authorities of his time. In addition to his literary and political achievements, Garnett also examines Milton's personal life, including his marriages, his relationships with his children, and his friendships with other writers and intellectuals of the day. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Milton's own writings, contemporary accounts, and historical records, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of this complex and influential figure in English literature and history. Overall, The Life of John Milton is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of one of England's greatest poets and thinkers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
