John Milton a Short Study of His Life and Works (Classic Reprint)

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.
