Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Milton
Yet in the England that produced and shaped him, he was a misfit. His peculiar and characteristic brand of classicism, romanticism, puritanism, modernism, individualism, Hebraism, Hellenism, Republicanism, egoism, indignation, sensuous aestheticism, and pas sion for a liberty of speech and thought that had not so far been conceived but by the few, made him an arrogant self-dedicated solitary, a superb and mon strous alien.
Of country yeoman descent, he was born in Bread Street, Cheapside, of a cultured and musical scrivener.
