About the Author

John Milton (1608-1674) was an influential English poet, scholar, and government official. Well educated and from a relatively prosperous background, Milton wrote in English, Latin, and Italian. He also served under Oliver Cromwell, a choice which nearly cost him his life after the collapse of the English Republic. After a brief arrest, Milton was pardoned and continued writing, publishing PARADISE LOST in 1667.
