John Milton era un maestro di quasi ogni tipo di verso, dal classico al religioso e dal lirico all'epico. Le sue prime poesie includono il devozionale 'On the Morning of Christ's Nativity', 'Comus', una mascherata e l'elegia pastorale 'Lycidas'. Dopo la morte di Cromwell e la delusione delle speranze politiche di Milton, iniziò a comporre Paradise Lost, che riflette la sua profonda comprensione della politica e del potere. Scritto quando Milton era all'apice delle sue capacità, questo grande capolavoro fonde il cristiano con il classico nella sua descrizione della caduta dell'uomo. In Samson Agonistes, l'ultima opera di Milton, il poeta traccia un parallelo con la sua stessa vita nella lotta dell'eroe per rinnovare la sua fede in Dio.

John Milton was born in London on December 9, 1608, and studied at the University of Cambridge. He originally planned to become a clergyman, but abandoned those ambitions to become a poet. Political in his writings, he served a government post during the time of the Commonwealth. In 1651, he went completely blind but he continued to write, finishing Paradise Lost in 1667, and Paradise Regained in 1671. He died in 1674.
