	OUTLINES OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURE : JOHN MILTON (1608-1674)
		Milton was born in London (1608) at a time when Shakespeare and his fellow dramatists were in their glory.
		His soul also was afflicted by the apparent loss of all that Puritanism had so hardly won, by the degradation of his country, by family troubles; for his daughters often rebelled at the task of taking his dictation, and left him helpless.
		It stands forever as our supreme example of sublimity and harmony,--that sublimity which reflects the human spirit standing awed and reverent before the grandeur of the universe; that harmony of expression at which every great poet aims and which Milton attained in such measure that he is called the organ-voice of England.
