About John Milton
English poet, polemicist, and civil servant
John Milton was an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant. He is remembered for Paradise Lost, the 1667 epic poem that secured his place among the major poets of English literature. Paradise Lost was written in blank verse and arranged in 12 books. Set against a period of religious and political upheaval, it recounts the fall of man, from the temptation of Adam and Eve by Satan to their expulsion from Eden. Milton also served the Commonwealth of England in government, first under the Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell.
