Review: Nicholas McDowell’s “Poet of Revolution: The Making of John Milton”

Review: Nicholas McDowell’s “Poet of Revolution: The Making of John Milton”
John Milton (1608-1674), English author, is best known for his epic poem ‘Paradise Lost,’ first published in 1667.

“As McDowell suggests, it was the liberating and open environment of humanist education that moved Milton more than any theological or political zeal, and it seized Milton at an early age.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
