Series - Anchor Seventeenth-Century Series, ACO-10 [WIKIPEDIA]"John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, religious thinker, and civil servant for the English Commonwealth Government. He is one of the most important figures in Western literature. He is most famous for his Christian epic poem Paradise Lost. His writing influenced both later poets and religious thinkers. In 1645, during the English Civil War, he published Poems of Mr. John Milton, in which there were his famous poems "L'Allegro" and "Il'Penseroso", which was mostly ignored. (...) In 1649, during the trial of Charles I, Milton wrote Of the Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, arguing that kings can rule only when the people allow them to. He then became secretary to the Council of State and wrote in Latin Eikonoklastes in 1649. (...) However, in 1667, he published the famous Paradise Lost, one of the greatest English-language epics. Four years later, he wrote Paradise Regained, a story about how men became sinful and how Jesus Christ won the battle with the devil. The last work that was published while he was alive was Samson Agonistes. He died, probably because of gout, on 8 November 1674." #Protestant #CoverArt #JohnMilton #Vintage #Prose #BooksBooksBooks #instabooks #instaread #Scarce #ParadiseRegained #booksforsale #EpicPoem #bibliophile #Antiquarian #Bookworm #Books #Latin #bookcollecting #ParadisLost #booksale #CuttleboneBooks #EnglishCivilWar #collectiblebooks #Bookstagram #Verse #readersofinstagram
