弥尔顿的英文简介
约翰弥尔顿就是那位《失乐园》的作者,我想要关于他本人及其生平的英文介绍,本来在《英国文学史》这本书上就有,但是我现在手头找不到,
希望答案可以简洁概括一点,主要包含作者经历过的重大事件,其主要作品,当时的社会环境及局势,作者的文学地位及其他知名作家对他及他的作品的评价等。
John Milton (December 9,1608 – November 8,1674) was an English poet,prose polemicist,and civil servant for the English Commonwealth.Most famed for his epic poem Paradise Lost,Milton is celebrated as well for his eloquent treatise condemning censorship,Areopagitica.Long considered the supreme English poet,Milton experienced a dip in popularity after attacks by T.S.Eliot and F.R.Leavis in the mid-twentieth century; but with multiple societies and scholarly journals devoted to his study,Milton’s reputation remains as strong as ever in the twenty-first century.
Very soon after his death – and continuing to the present day – Milton became the subject of partisan biographies,confirming T.S.Eliot’s belief that “of no other poet is it so difficult to consider the poetry simply as poetry,without our theological and political dispositions…making unlawful entry.”[1] Milton’s radical,republican politics and heretical religious views,coupled with the perceived artificiality of his complicated Latinate verse,alienated Eliot and other readers; yet by dint of the overriding influence of his poetry and personality on subsequent generations--particularly the Romantic movement--the man whom Samuel Johnson disparaged as “an acrimonious and surly republican” must be counted one of the most significant writers and thinkers of all time.
