About this book
Life of John Milton is a book by Richard Garnett. A note says the number of miniature Lives of Milton is great, and great also is the merit of some of them. The same note mentions the publication of Professor Masson's monumental and authoritative biography.
The text says Milton's birth and nurture were thus in the centre of London. The text says that even now the fragrance of the hay in far-off meadows may be inhaled in Bread Street on a balmy summer's night. A passage says a man had neglected to give his daughters the education which might have qualified them in some measure to appreciate him, and that the eldest, Anne, could not even write her name. The text says paramount to all other influences must have been the character of his father, a mute but by no means an inglorious Milton.
