Summary
The Portable Milton is an authoritative grand tour through the imagination of this prodigal genius. In the course of his forty-year career, John Milton evolved from a prodigy to a blind prophet, from a philosophical aesthete to a Puritan rebel, and from a poet who proclaimed the triumph of reason to one obsessed with the intractability of sin. Throughout these transformations, he conceived his work as a form of prayer, written in the service of the supreme being.

About The Author
John Milton
John Milton
Born in London on December 9, 1608, John Milton studied at the University of Cambridge. He initially intended to become a clergyman but later abandoned these ambitions to pursue poetry. Milton’s writings were often political, and he served in a government post during the Commonwealth era. Despite losing his sight completely in 1651, he continued to write, completing Paradise Lost in 1667 and Paradise Regained in 1671. He died in 1674.
