Son of a music composer, Milton began writing poetry at university (he was educated in St Paul's School and Chist's College in Cambridge), where he gained a nickname of "the Lady of Christ's" which attributed to "a certain niceness of nature". Later Milton sought to instrict his audience in a style considered "Miltonic". His central moral belief is in individual responsibility: only when one is allowes choise can one become a moral being.
Milton is a poet of the ear, with a powerful music in his verse. His tremendous learning may complicate his poetry for the modern reader, but there are depths in his lines for those who truly probe them.
