Milton's England

"Milton's England" by Lucia True Ames Mead is a journey into the historical world that nurtured the brilliant poet John Milton. The story shows us London in the early 1600s, around the time Milton was born, and it highlights the city’s important place in history. The book shares how events, like when the Spanish Armada was defeated in 1588, shaped the city’s culture, as well as the impact of writers and leaders who lived at the same time as Milton on England. It paints a clear image of the scenes and forces that touched Milton's life, showing how his surroundings helped him become a great writer.
