This life of John Milton was first published in the English Men of
Letters series in 1879. Its author, Mark Pattison (1813 84) spent
most of his adult life in Oxford, as a student, a tutor, and
eventually, from 1861, Rector of Lincoln College. Pattison's
scholarly interest in religious thought in England, and in the
history of classical learning after the Renaissance, made him the
ideal biographer for the poet whose writing life was spent in
justifying God's ways to man, and whose knowledge of Greek and
Latin literature was almost unmatched. Pattison sees the life as
divided into three periods: he provides a narrative of events and
an analysis of Milton's literary output (both verse and prose) for
each. The final chapter is a discussion of the major poems:
Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes, concluding
with the assertion of Milton's supremacy over all English writers
except Shakespeare.
