Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of John Milton It may be thought by some, that the following Memoir of the Life and Times of Milton is rendered unnecessary by the numerous biographies of the patriot and poet already extant. There is certainly no lack of these, in point of number; but there is not one amongst them, in which Milton's character as a political writer is so fully exhibited and so justly appreciated, as the writer of the following memoir has long felt to be desirable. A recent editor of Milton's Prose Works has justly observed, that Milton has been imprisoned in the temple of the Muses; we may add, that his biographers, generally, have been more disposed to do the office of jailors than to set him at liberty, and make the world acquainted with his political character and patriotic claims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Times of John Milton A Number of years ago, Southey declared that a life of John Milton was "yet a desideratum in British literature." This is no longer true of what may be distinctively termed, English letters; but it is still true of American literature, which, up to this date, has never produced a biography of that illustrious republican and poet. Before the recent appearance of Mr. Masson's admirable and elaborate Life of Milton, of which an American firm undertook some years ago to give a reprint, but of which only the first volume has been published, those who were curious to acquaint themselves with the details of his eventful and beneficent career, were obliged to glean their scanty information from some six or eight outline sketches, usually prefixed as introductory memoirs to the various editions of his works. But these, however useful as summaries of fact, are far below the dignity of independent biography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Milton: A Biography Several obvious reasons may account for this neglect; and the first of these is, that a somewhat repulsive influence obstructs the inquirer at the very threshold of this rare but almost unexplored cabinet of British literature. The very names of many of Milton's prose works present themselves to all but the learned, as an array of quaint forms, which frown upon the uninitiated. Their style, like the waters of the fabled stream, is turbid with the grains of classic gold; and the literary habits of the writer were so closely connected with ancient and foreign literature, as to deprive his writings of that strictly national character which is essential to a wide popularity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of John Milton After leaving his Essex pedagogue, Milton came under the private tuition of Thomas Young, a Scotchman from St. Andrews, who afterwards rose to be master of Jesus College, Cambridge. It would appear from the elegies subsequently addressed to him by his pupil that he first taught Milton to write Latin verse. This instruction was no doubt intended to be preliminary to the youth's entrance at St. Paul's School, where he must have been admitted by 1620 at the latest.

Or, if there was any other inconvenience, it arose from the necessity of grant ing interviews to Messrs. Reynolds, Calamy, Manton, Case, and the other eminent Presbyterian ministers who had come from London to bespeak the King's fidelity to Presbytery and the Solemn League and Covenant, or at least to obtain his assurance that he would not show sudden favour to Episcopacy by requiring the use of the Book of Common Prayer and the surplice by his own chaplains. In the particular of his own practice the King told the reverend gentlemen distinctly that he reserved the same liberty for himself that he meant to allow to others; but on the general question he was sufiiciently polite.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Milton a Short Study of His Life and Works This book is a result of a conviction forced upon me by an experience of many years as a teacher of literature, that we anglo-saxons do not honor Milton as we should do, that we too frequently misunderstand him and neglect him. He is rapidly passing - if, indeed, he has not already passed - into the class of authors whom we talk about oftener than we read. In view of this fact I have here ventured to tell over again the story of his life and achievements in the hope that I may win him more lovers and readers.
