Sinossi
Excerpt from John Milton: A Biography
Several obvious reasons may account for this neglect; and the first of these is, that a somewhat repulsive influence obstructs the inquirer at the very threshold of this rare but almost unexplored cabinet of British literature.
The very names of many of Milton's prose works present themselves to all but the learned, as an array of quaint forms, which frown upon the uninitiated. Their style, like the waters of the fabled stream, is turbid with the grains of classic gold; and the literary habits of the writer were so closely connected with ancient and foreign literature, as to deprive his writings of that strictly national character which is essential to a wide popularity.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth exploration of the life and theological writings of John Milton, one of the most renowned poets of the English language and an influential voice during a period of political and religious transformation in 17th century England. Tracing his journey from his early education, through his service as a secretary for the Commonwealth and his subsequent years in retirement, the book analyzes Milton's perspectives on ecclesiastical matters, particularly his unwavering support for freedom of religious expression and his opposition to the established order of the Anglican Church. The author provides a fresh perspective on Milton's prose works, highlighting their rhetorical power and the enduring relevance of their ideas to contemporary discussions on religious liberty and the separation of church and state. Through a detailed examination of Milton's writings, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between literature, politics, and religion in 17th century England.
