John Milton

Literature Fun Facts - I hope you enjoy this morsel of information. Cheers. Thomas.

John Milton composed the greatest epic in the English language Paradise Lost after he was blind (between 1658 and 1664). He claimed that he received nightly divine inspiration, and during the day he composed his epic. Paradise Lost is packed with biblical and mythological allusions—attesting to Milton's vast knowledge and incredible memory.
