Milton: Man and Thinker is a biographical and critical study of the life and work of John Milton, one of the greatest poets and thinkers of the English language. Written by Denis Saurat, a renowned scholar of English literature, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Milton's life, his works, and his ideas.The book begins with a detailed account of Milton's early life and education, including his family background, his schooling, and his travels in Europe. It then goes on to examine Milton's literary career, from his early poems and sonnets to his epic masterpiece, Paradise Lost. Saurat provides a careful analysis of Milton's style, themes, and imagery, as well as his political and religious views.In addition to his literary achievements, Milton was also a prominent political and religious figure of his time, and Saurat devotes a significant portion of the book to exploring his involvement in the political and religious controversies of the seventeenth century. He examines Milton's views on liberty, democracy, and the role of the state, as well as his controversial views on divorce and religious toleration.Throughout the book, Saurat draws on a wide range of sources, including Milton's own writings, contemporary accounts, and modern scholarship, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of this complex and fascinating figure. Milton: Man and Thinker is an essential resource for anyone interested in the life and work of John Milton, and a valuable contribution to the study of English literature and intellectual history.This is a new release of the original 1944 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
