Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lycidas, Sonnets Yet Milton himself regarded them as no more than the first fruits of his genius he had, in his own estimation, shattered the leaves of his poetic laurels before the mellowing year. In April, 1638, he set out on ajourney to Italy, the classic land of poetry and art. He had spent some months in Florence and Rome, and was staying in Naples when the sad news of civil war reached him; be resolved to turn his face homewards, for, he says, 'i thought it disgraceful; while my fellow - countrymen were fighting for liberty, that I should be travelling abroad for pleasure. He retraced his steps in a leisurely manner, and arrived in England in August, 1639. It was on this journey that he wrote his Italian Sonnets, and shortly after his return he wrote that elegy on the death of his friend Charles Diodati, to which allusion is made in the notes on Lycidas. III. In the end of 1639 Milton took lodgings'in London, and hoped to betake himself to his favourite studies with a view to still further maturing himself for the production of some great English poem. But this hope was not fulfilled. The Scots had rebelled against Episcopacy, and the Puritans of England (of whom, both by nature and upbringing, Milton was one) were all in sympathy with them. The famous Long Parlia ment had already resisted in a number of ways the unconstitutional conduct of Charles I., and had decided to sweep away the abuses of the Episcopal Church. How best to do this was the important question, and to the answering of this Milton first devoted himself with all the enthusiasm of his truly religious spirit.

Download or read book Lycidas Sonnets written by John Milton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lycidas, Sonnets This selection comprises, with only one notable exception (Comus), all the English poetry that Milton wrote between 1630 and 1660 - a period of thirty years. On the former date he had already been five years at the University of Cambridge, and on the latter lie finally escaped from the political troubles that had beset him for nearly twenty years and set to work in earnest upon his great epic, Paradise Lost. If we divide his life into four periods, as detailed below, we find that the poems in this volume belong to the second and third of these, and, if we exclude the Sonnets, entirely to the second. We have to deal, therefore, with the products of Milton's earlier muse; his later or epic muse belongs exclusively to the fourth and last period of his life. I. Pre-literary period, 1608-25. II. Period of College and Country life and Travel, 1625-40. III. Controversial period, 1640-60. IV. Period of Great Poems, 1660-74. I. John Milton was born on December 9th, 1608, about eight years before the death of Shakespeare. His father, a prosperous London scrivener, was a pious and cultured man, and chose as his son's first tutor Thomas Young, a Puritan divine.
