Correct answer: c) Milton
John Milton
John Milton was an English Poet, pamphleteer and historian, considered the most significant English author after William Shakespeare. He was born in London on 9th December 1608 into a middle-class family. He is known for Paradise Lost. It is widely regarded as the greatest epic poem in English. He died on 8th November 1674 aged 65 years old. It described the creation of the world, which is likewise wonderfully sublime. The judicious reader compares what Longinus has observed in several passages in Homer and he will find parallels for most of them in Paradise Lost by John Milton. It is considered sublime and beautiful as purpuric, either unworthy of the poet. He expresses his administration and the author could so abstract his thoughts from his own troubles as to be able to make it. He could spatial at large through the compass of the whole universe and through all heaven. He could survey all periods from before the creation to the communication of all things.
