John Milton

poet United Kingdom

John Milton was a 17th-century English poet and intellectual, best known for his epic poem 'Paradise Lost,' which explores themes of free will, redemption, and the human condition. As a prominent figure of the English Renaissance, Milton's writings reflect his deep engagement with political and religious ideas, particularly during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. His later works, such as 'Paradise Regained' and 'Samson Agonistes,' articulate a vision of hope and redemption that resonates with radical movements, reinforcing his status as a 'prophet-poet' for those seeking social and political change.
