    About this ebook

    In this 1879 addition to the English Men of Letters series, Pattison explores the life and work of John Milton, the author of the definitive Paradise Lost. The volume touches on Milton’s pamphlets, famous works of poetry, and even his religious beliefs. Pattison judges only Shakespeare to be Milton’s superior in the realm of English poetry.
