Making Darkness Light - A Life of John Milton

In this brilliant biography, an acclaimed Oxford professor rediscovers a poet whose rich contradictions confound his monumental image and immerses us in the rhythms and textures of his world, from his childhood into his idiosyncratic belief system and his strange, electrifying imagination.
