Author Description

The Sonnets of Milton is a collection of sonnets written by the famous English poet John Milton, published in 1921. The book is edited by John S. Smart, a literary scholar and editor. The sonnets included in this volume were written by Milton throughout his life, and cover a range of themes including love, politics, religion, and personal reflection.

The second section explores Milton's political views, with sonnets addressing issues such as freedom of speech and censorship. The third section contains sonnets that reflect Milton's religious beliefs, including his views on God and the Bible. The final section includes sonnets that are more personal in nature, reflecting on Milton's own life and experiences.
