Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Milton´s Ode on the Morning of Christ´s Nativity, L´allegro, IL Penseroso and Lycidas Realising, too, that in his son lay the promise and possibility of future greatness, John Milton took the utmost pains to have the boy adequately educated; and the lines Ad Patrem show that the ties of affection between father and child were of more than ordinary closeness. Milton was sent to St Paul´s School about the year 1620. Here two influences, apart from those of ordinary school-life, may have affected him particularly. The headmaster was a good English scholar; he published a grammar containing many extracts from English poets, notably Spenser; it is reasonable to assume that he had not a little to do with the encouragement and guidance of Milton´s early taste for English poetry. Also, the founder of St Paul´s School, Colet, had prescribed as part of the school-course the study of certain early Christian writers, whose influence is said to be directly traceable in Milton´s poems and may in some cases have suggested his choice of sacred themes. While at St Paul´s, Milton also had a tutor at home, Thomas Young, a Scotchman, afterwards an eminent Puritan divine - the inspirer, doubtless, of much of his pupil´s Puritan sympathies. And Milton enjoyed the signal advantage of growing up in the stimulating atmosphere of cultured home-life. Most men do not realise that the word ´culture´ signifies anything very definite or desirable before they pass to the University; for Milton, however, home-life meant, from the first, not only broad interests and refinement, but active encouragement towards literature and study. In 1625 he left St Paul´s. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
