John Milton (1608-1674) was a prominent English poet and intellectual, best known for his epic poem “Paradise Lost,” which delves into the fall of Satan and the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Despite losing his sight, Milton persisted in writing and dictating his works, including other notable pieces such as “Paradise Regained,” “Samson Agonistes,” and “Areopagitica.” He also played a role in politics during the English Civil War, championing freedom of speech and the separation of church and state. Milton’s contributions to English literature continue to be highly esteemed.
