Milton's Life and Work
John Milton was born in 1608 into the small family of a fairly well-to-do London scrivener, a combination of lawyer, money-lender, and real estate agent, who was also a composer of some reputation. The poet got along well with his family; his father, he wrote, was generous with him and "destined me from a child to the pursuits of Literature." In his youth he was tutored privately and sent to the excellent St. Paul's School, adjoining the famous cathedral in the center of London. At an early age he distinguished himself in the study of languages (he was reading even Hebrew before he went to college) and in the translation and composition of poetry.
When he was seventeen, Milton went to Christ's College at Cambridge University. His experiences there were not especially happy at first since the serious young scholar revolted against what he thought was the irrelevant medieval scholastic curriculum of Cambridge and did not get along well with his first tutor. After a period of adjustment during which he left school temporarily and was given a new tutor, Milton seems to have made a number of good friends. He graduated from Christ's an M.A. with some distinction in 1632. By the time he finished he was interested in classical literature and history, modern history, ancient and modern languages, the study of the Bible and Christian religion, mathematics, and music, and, with his father's support, he retired to their house in the country to continue his study on his own. With his degree he might have become an Anglican minister, but the Anglican church under Charles I and Archbishop Laud, he felt, had become too corrupt and too tied up with politics.
