John Milton (1608-74) is usually thought of as the greatest of all English poets after Shakespeare. His most magnificent poem is Paradise Lost (1667), which tells the story of God’s dealing with mankind, from the creation of the world, as told in Bible.

Milton was born in London and went to St. Paul’s school, where he was so eager to learn that, he said, “From the twelfth year of my age I scarce ever went to bed before midnight”. At 16 he went to Christ’s College, Cambridge, and when he left after more than seven years he settled down to continue studying in a Buckinghamshire village called Horton. Already he knew that he wanted to write a great poem and he believed that to do this he must be not only a learned man but also a good one.

Although he was ready yet to begin his great task, Milton did write other poems while he lived at Horton. Among them were L’Allegro and II Penseroso (both 1631-32). L’Allegro described the things that a cheerful man likes and II Penseroso the things a serious man likes. Also written at Horton were Cpmus (1634), a masque in praise of purity, and Lycidas (1637), a beautiful, sad poem lamentin the death of Edward king, a fellow-student who had been drowned.
