This book captures a collection of 150 letters written by John Milton, famed author of Paradise Lost, during his tenure as the Secretary for Foreign Tongues for the English Commonwealth. Most of these letters, never published in Milton's lifetime, were written in Latin, the language of international diplomacy, and only recently unearthed. This release represents the first complete publication of all of Milton's official diplomatic correspondence. Through his role as an advisor and translator for the Commonwealth, Milton was involved in all diplomatic dealings with foreign governments, from small German provinces to powerful empires such as Spain and France.
