No artist creates his works in a vacuum. Beyond the conscious
influence of books read, artwork seen, minds probed (through
conversation or exchange of letters), writers are in no small part
products of everything that surrounds them--people, places, things,
events. MILTON'S CENTURY is designed to place one particular
genius--John Milton, arguably the finest poet the English nation
(perhaps even Western civilization) has produced--in the context of
his time. And what a remarkable time it was--a century of
revolutions, of discoveries, of literary and artistic
efflorescence, of religious turmoil and political turbulence, of
plagues and fires and ultimate rebuilding...and of the first
adumbrations of the Modern Age. MILTON'S CENTURY becomes vital and
alive for twenty-first-century readers through the vast network of
connections and interconnections that Professor Collings
articulates. Borgo Literary Guides, No. 15.
