John Milton
(Dec 9, 1608 – Nov 8, 1674) was an English poet, prose polemicist and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England. Best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost, Milton is also known for his treatise condemning censorship, Areopagitica. Paradise Lost was not widely known until after his death and after the fall of the Puritan government. Not surprisingly, although some scholars created amended editions of his work, his attempt to "justify the ways of God to man" was seen as a curiosity during the Enlightenment, as Newton's influence spread and scientific knowledge increased. In the 19th century, the Romantic poets rejected the rhymed couplets of Pope, choosing Milton's blank verse, and clerically minded British scholars included his work in the study of English poetry.
