John Milton

Hi,

Is anyone here interested in John Milton?

Interested...? In what way? What about? He's only one of the greatest poets in the English language... perhaps second only to Shakespeare... and his Paradise Lost is perhaps the single greatest long poem in the language (only Canterbury Tales might compete), so what is to be interested in?:D

Hahahah it's funny to hear you talk about him that way. Nah, it's just because he's my great (etc.) Grandfather and i really wanted to know just how famous he was! Well now i know!!!

Thanks,

I'm very interested in him. Even though I haven't read everything from both, as of now it strikes me that, at his best, Milton was even better at Shakespeare. It just seems to me that Shakespeare was at his best more often than Milton.
