Summary: "Life of John Milton" by Richard Garnett is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography delves into the life and works of the renowned poet John Milton, tracing his development from his early years, through his literary achievements, to his political involvement during a tumultuous period in English history. It seeks to provide readers with a detailed exploration of Milton's influences, thoughts, and the broader context of his time, all of which shaped his contributions to literature and society. The opening of "Life of John Milton" sets the stage for Milton's birth and upbringing, highlighting the state of English literature at the time he entered the world. It portrays the influences that shaped his character, particularly his strict Puritan household and the musical and literary environment fostered by his father. The narrative begins with an articulate emphasis on the intellectual landscape of England, framing Milton as a pivotal figure on the bridge between the classical and the emerging modern literary forms. Furthermore, it hints at the complex interplay between his poetic aspirations and his deep engagement with political and theological controversies, suggesting that a comprehensive understanding of Milton must account for both his literary genius and his role as a passionate citizen.
