Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A fresh and engaging account of the life of the great English poet, John Milton, in his quarter centenary year. Best known as the author of the great epic "Paradise Lost", he was also deeply involved in the political and religious controversies of his time, the 17th century. Beer presents him as a rounded human being, detailing his pamphlet writing on free speech, divorce and rights, his time as Cromwell's international secretary, and also his private and personal relations.
