| | John Milton |
 | | Milton’s thought was uncommonly influenced by the political and cultural developments of his day: notably the freedom of the press in the early 1640s, and the ensuing religious, legal and constitutional speculation; and the political experiments, and failures, of the 1650s. | | | Milton uses intelligent contextual criticism, and claims that his views are based on Scripture interpreted with a Christian spirit, rather than on a harsh legalism. | | | Milton was subjected to bitter ad hominem criticism for these expressions of his beliefs, and was identified as one of a fabulous sect of ‘Divorcers’, who would put away their wives at will to satisfy inordinate lust. |

| | Milton wrote propaganda for the English Republic in the early 1650s, including the Eikonoklastes, which attempts to justify the execution of Charles I. | | | When he was caught and arrested in October 1659 he was not summarily executed: several influential people had spoken on his behalf, including the poet Andrew Marvell, a former assistant. | | | In terms of politics, Milton's Areopagitica and republican writings were consulted during the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America. |

| | Henceforth Milton was permanently on the political left. | | | With the execution of Charles I in 1649, Milton entered the political fray with The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, an assertion of the right of a people to depose or execute a ruling tyrant. | | | This view constituted a complete about-face for Milton, who had written as a good monarchist in his early works. |

| | John Milton (1608-1674) |
| | While he was a member of Cromwell's Council of State, Milton pushed for “a better provision for the education and morals of youth,” deeming such a provision necessary for preserving Christian liberty, upon which all other liberties depend. | | | Insisting fervently on humanity's rational freedom and responsible power of choice, Milton believed that liberty is best safeguarded by the strong moral character of a nation's citizens. | | | Despite the fact that some of his religious beliefs defied the official Puritan stance, Milton was nonetheless a Puritan, and, as such, supported Oliver Cromwell and the parliamentary cause against Charles I in the English Civil War of 1642-1651. |

| | John Milton, Poet |
| | After 1660, with the monarchy restored, Milton's political dreams lay in ruins under the double blow of the collapse of the Puritan Republic and the failure of said republic to uphold freedom while it lasted. | | | It is for the most part straightforward Protestant theology, but includes some departures from the mainstream position, and Milton carefully labels them as such. | | | Milton's dismay on finding that the new revolutionary government, undertaken in the name of liberty, could be just as intolerant of dissent as the monarchy it replaced, found expression not only in the "Areopagetica," but also in poetry. |

| | Although some cite the work as Christian apologist, there are certainly many elements within the poem that many of the more hard-line Christians would be taken aback by; it was, of course, even more controversial in its day. | | | If we saw its razor-sharp fangs and [dripping] mouth, we would have stopped getting ensnared in its trap long ago. | | | John Milton was an English cleric, a protestant who nonetheless had a great affinity for catholic Italy, and this duality of interests shows in much of his creative writing as well as his religious tracts. |

| | After an attempt to seek a divorce, she returned to Milton and three daughters were born of the marriage&; they later became his somewhat unwilling scribes. | | | Soon after his return, Milton settled in London and began teaching his nephews, Edward and John Phillips, while deliberating on various subjects as the possible theme for the great poem which he looked forward to writing. | | | His middle years were devoted to the Puritan cause and writing pamphlets, including The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce (1643), which may have been based on his own experience of marital unhappiness. |

| | Uxoriousness, Genesis, and John Milton's Paradise Lost |
| | As A.L. Rowse writes, it "is all very well to excuse Milton for this assertion of women's inferiority to men as being the customary attitude in his time; but I know of no one else who so constantly and unwearingly asserts it all through his work" (74). | | | It seems that Milton's God has a particularly soft place in His heart for the man who was made in His own image, however much He may upbraid him for his uxoriousness. | | | Because his goal is to "justify the ways of God to men," he must also consider theodicy when making his additions (1.26). |

| | Bacon was in the meridian of his power, but was known already to be one of the meanest of mankind, and neither his genius nor his station secured respect. | | | His form was cast in the finest mould of manly beauty; no one surpassed him in elegance of manners; and his carriage "bespoke undauntedness and courage." His voice was variably musical, and his conversational abilities never were approached, perhaps, unless in those of one of the most illustrious Englishmen of this present age. | | | But it was not from cowardice that he preferred the closet to the field, and he saw no absurdity in adding to his light income by teaching, while he wrote his immortal works on the nature and necessity of liberty. |
