Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton and the Liberties of England More than any other man in English history, Milton was the apostle of liberty - liberty of thought, liberty of discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton: With an Introduction and Notes Johnson's Lives of the Poets were issued between 1779 and 1781. His original undertaking was merely to furnish short biographical prefaces to an edition of the poets from Cowley downwards, which in 1777 certain booksellers contemplated publishing. The task was one, says Macaulay (biography of Jolmson), for which he was pre-eminently qualified. His knowledge of the literary history of England since the Restoration was unrivalled, That knowledge he had derived partly from books, and partly from sources which had long been closed; from old Grub Street traditions; from the talk of forgotten poetasters and pamphleteers who had long been lying in parish vaults; from the recollections of such men as Gilbert Walmesley, who had conversed with the wits of Button; Cibber, who had mutilated the plays of two generations of dramatists; Orrery, who had been ad mitted to the society of Swift; and Savage, who had dered services of no very honourable kind to Pepe.

Download or read book The Poetics and Politics of Youth in Milton s England written by Blaine Greteman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the notion of government by consent took hold in early modern England, many authors used childhood and maturity to address contentious questions of political representation - about who has a voice and who can speak on his or her own behalf. For John Milton, Ben Jonson, William Prynne, Thomas Hobbes and others, the period between infancy and adulthood became a site of intense scrutiny, especially as they examined the role of a literary education in turning children into political actors. Drawing on new archival evidence, Blaine Greteman argues that coming of age in the seventeenth century was a uniquely political act. His study makes a compelling case for understanding childhood as a decisive factor in debates over consent, autonomy and political voice, and will offer graduate students and scholars a new perspective on the emergence of apolitical children's literature in the eighteenth century.
Download or read book John Milton Englishman Classic Reprint written by James Holly Hanford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Milton, Englishman Actually, Milton's fame, which is said always to have been more or less a matter of politics, is as much so today as It ever was. If seventeenth century Puritanism and the English civil war seem more remote to us than they did to Johnson or Macaulay, it is only that the debate has been transferred to a larger and more philosophic stage. There are three reasons for Milton's remaining a controversial figure: He gave such eloquent answers to questions that still divide mankind. He made his own charac ter an issue in the public causes for which he fought. And as a poet he did not detach himself from his imaginative creation. The present writer is less interested in evaluating Milton as an artist, a thinker, or a man than he is in explaining the processes of a creative personality, but he does not expect or particularly wish to escape what others have failed to escape: the betrayal of an attitude. As an American, familiar with England and English tradi tion chiefly through books, he sees Milton with a difference. As an ob server of the current world of revolution and reaction, peace and war, he interprets the great protagonist of the struggles of another age in the light of behavior he has observed.

Download or read book The Age of Milton Classic Reprint written by John Howard Bertram Masterman and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Milton More clearly to be discerned. The divine, the historian, the biographer, the dramatist, the poet, fall, each Of them, into one or other of these two main divisions, according as each is either imitative or spontaneous, - the producer of ingenious variations on Old familiar strains, or seeking to win an audience by utterances in which theme and treat ment are alike new. Of the English literature of the age Of Milton, it may be said that at least three-fourths Of it is almost entirely imitative; Of Milton himself, that in no respect is his originality more clearly to be discerned than in the manner in which (if we except his political pamphlets) his genius asserts its independence Of tradition and Of party. Much Of the imitativeness Of the literature of this time is to be referred to the fact that that literature was, either directly or indirectly, largely concerned with religious belief and consequently with tradition. It is only when we compare some Of the ablest and most thoughtful theological literature Of our own day with the best Of Milton's age that we become aware that theology is not all tradition; and that around great central truths there gathers, as the ages roll on, new and loftier inspiration as amid the disso nance of Past and Present man seeks to interpret to his own soul the solemn fugue-notes of ancient Revelation. But that which chie y serves to redeem a certain propor tion Of the theological literature Of the seventeenth century from Oblivion, is its association with the national history with party iii politics as well as in religion. Hence, indeed, much Of its in spiration - its fire, its argumentative force, its eloquence - according as each writer is Roman or Protestant, Teutonic or Latin, Anglican or Puritan in his views and sympathies. At the time when Milton came up to Cam. Bridge and studied there (1625-1632) the power Of Teutonic Protestantism seemed ebbing fast. Ever since the Synod Of Dort, Arminianism had been gaining ground; and its. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Prose Writings of John Milton There are omitted from this volume all the writings in which Milton replied to the Opponents of his views. The controversies of 250 years ago travelled by many paths in which we care no longer to assert a right of way. At all times, the Reformer who is answering opponents has his course of argument determined by the reason or the unreason Of other men. Forms of reply dependent upon accidents Of the attack are only to be read with measured judgment by those who have read the attack also and Often when we have read both, we have heard a sound of battle in the air that has appealed to our imaginations and disturbed our judgment. The battle Of Opinion rolls forward to new ground from century to century. The great truths are immutable, the applications Of them vary with the change of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton's Fame on the Continent Milton was mentioned, but not as a poet, by P. Costar in his Memoire des gens de lettres celebres des pays etrangers and the Comte de Comminges, Louis XIV's ambassador at the court of Charles II, made, in 1663, his famous report to his royal master to the effect that the arts and sciences had passed to France, and that, if there were any vestiges left in England, 'ce n'est que dans la memoire de Bacon, de Morus, de Bucanan et, dans les derniers siecles, d'un nomme Miltonius qui s'est rendu plus infame par ses dangereux cerits que les bourreaux et les assassins de leur roi'. The lexicographers, C. Funccius, G. M. Konig, C. Gryphius, and V. Paravicini, give Milton brief notices in their biographical works, but they know him only as a political agitator, and especially as the author of Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio, a book to which universal attention had been drawn on the Continent by the fact of its having been publicly burned at Paris and Toulouse. In 1697, Bayle honoured Milton by devoting to him three pages of his Dictionary, this being the only English poet mentioned in the work. Still, it is obvious that it was not Milton the poet, but Milton the political writer, in whom Bayle was interested, and he was content to repeat at second hand that Paradise Lost 'passe pour l'un des plus beaux ouvrages de poesie que l'on ait vu en anglais', Paradise Regained being 'not nearly so good'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Milton To endeavour to remedy that which has been well denominated by the first literary authority in England, a disgraceful defect in literature the want of such an edition, as, he flatters himself, the present will be found - to restore milton's loftiest poem to its original purity; bringing it, by means of luminous critical and explanatory notes, within the comprehension of his humblest countrymen, and at a price which will enable all to become possessed of it - in fine, to do justice to the fame of the greatest epic poet of any age or country, by removing the prejudices which party zeal and hate had heaped on his memory 3 - was pronounced a bold, if not an impracticable undertaking. That the publisher has been enabled to achieve all this, and bring the work to a triumphant close (although at an outlay which must, in the event of failure, have been ruinous), will ever be to him a source of the proudest gratulation. That he has done so, he has the collective testimony of the press, without a single exception, -of an already extensive and daily increasing circulation, - of many distinguished friends, Whose expressions of approbation, and still more substantial aid, he regrets he is not permitted to acknowledge more openly.
