Description
John Milton's life was far from straightforward. A complex and multifaceted individual, he defied easy categorisation. This biography sheds new light on his fascinating world, exploring the contradictions that defined him - Heaven and Hell, light and dark, self and other. Through a vivid retelling of Milton's experiences in 17th century London, Tuscany, and the Marches, Joe Moshenska brings his world to life. The book delves into key works and ideas around creativity, time, and freedom of expression, revealing the profound influence of Milton's work on writers such as William Blake, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and Jorge Luis Borges. Ultimately, this biography is about more than just its subject - it's a meditation on why we read and how another's life and words can enter our own.
