520 _a"Milton" by John Cann Bailey is a comprehensive biographical study written in the early 20th century. This work explores the life and character of John Milton, emphasizing his literary contributions and enduring significance as an English poet and thinker. The narrative delves into the complexities of Milton’s personality and his tumultuous experiences during a time of great political and social upheaval. The opening of the book serves as an introductory chapter, presenting the idea that like mountains viewed from different angles, historical perspectives of prominent figures evolve over time. Bailey articulates the necessity of re-evaluating Milton, asserting that although subsequent generations may not view him as they once did, his relevance remains strong. He acknowledges Milton's dual nature—a brilliant artist and a contentious figure—highlighting the interplay between his lofty ideals and his often scathing critiques of opponents. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Milton’s poetry and prose, indicating that Bailey will navigate the poet’s sublime yet paradoxical legacy throughout the book.
