John Milton, English poet and literary genius, was born on December 9, 1608 and died on November 8, 1674. Although he drifted into unorthodox views on the Trinity and divorce, he was a notable defender of Puritan and Presbyterian theology until he broke with the Presbyterians over the issue of divorce. He became blind in his later years.

His most famous work is Paradise Lost. He wrote many other notable poems and versified select Psalms as well.

He wrote important Puritan tracts: On Reformation, The Reason of Church Government, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates and others.

Many of his works are available here.
