John Milton
John Milton was born in 1608 in London.
He was greatly influenced by his family.
Received good education due to the prosperity of his family.
At 18, Milton was admitted to Christ‘s College, Cambridge
On the Christmas of 1629, posed “On the Morning of Christ‘s Nativity“(基督诞生的清晨).
In 1632, Milton took his .(Master of Arts) at Cambridge, after which he retired to the family homes, and did 6 years of private study and position.
Milton set out for a tour of Europe when he turned 30. He met Galileo in Florence, and was greatly touched and inspired by him.
Milton’s tour of Europe was cut short with rumors of civil war in England.
The Civil War was brewing — King Charles I(查理一世) invaded Scotland in 1639, and the Long Parliament(长期议会) was convened(召开) in 1640.  
Milton began writing pamphlets on political and religious matters; Of Reformation, Animadversions(论批判), and Of Prelatical Episcopacy(论主教制).
In the spring of 1642, Milton married Mary Powell, 17 years old to his 34, but the relationship was an unhappy one, and Mary left him to visit the family home briefly thereafter, and did not return.
Matters were not improved when the Powells declared for the King in the Civil War which broke out in August. This prompted Milton to write his so-called 'Divorce Tracts' speaking for divorce on the grounds of patibility.
But after the restoration in 1658, Milton’s political career started to slide down.
In 1652, Milton lost his sight due to overwork. 3 years later, Milton married Katherine Woodcock, but she passed away in 1658.
It is to the memory of her that Milton wrote the “Methought I saw my late espousèd saint.(梦亡妻)”
