In the course of his forty-year career, John Milton evolved from a prodigy to a blind prophet, from a philosophical aesthete to a Puritan rebel, and from a poet who proclaimed the triumph of reason to one obsessed with the intractability of sin. Throughout these transformations, he conceived his work as a form of prayer, written in the service of the supreme being.The Portable Milton - Edited by Douglas Bush       Introduction\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eI.
