Project Gutenberg 2010-11-23 Public domain in the USA. 67 Beers, Henry A. (Henry Augustin) 1847 1926 Beers, Henry Augustin Milton's Tercentenary An address delivered before the Modern Language Club of Yale University on Milton's Three Hundredth Birthday. Produced by Al Haines "Milton's Tercentenary" by Henry A. Beers is an address presented before the Modern Language Club of Yale University on the 300th birthday of the poet John Milton, written in the early 20th century. This historical publication reflects on the significance of Milton's work, particularly "Paradise Lost," and his lasting impact on English literature. The book discusses Milton's dual legacy as both a monumental poet and a prominent figure of English Puritanism. In this address, Beers articulates Milton's distinguished place in the literary canon, balancing admiration for his poetic mastery with a critical analysis of his character and beliefs. He contemplates Milton's education, his role in shaping political thought, and his often complex views on individual rights and authority, emphasizing his commitment to liberty alongside a somewhat elitist perspective towards the general populace. Beers juxtaposes Milton’s heroic virtues against the backdrop of the turbulent political landscape of his time, highlighting both his artistic genius and his limitations in understanding the common man. Ultimately, the address serves as both a celebration and an exploration of Milton’s enduring relevance to the English-speaking world, particularly in the Puritan context that shaped much of his work.
