On this day, December 9, in 1608, John Milton was born in London, England. Author of the epic poem Paradise Lost, Milton was a fiery advocate of republicanism (the belief that heads of state should not be based on heredity), and was a civil servant to the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell, but it was later, during the Restoration, that he completed most of his best-known works. Although he was celebrated internationally, when he dictated Paradise Lost to his aides (due to blindness most likely brought about by glaucoma) he was impoverished and ignored in England, remaining unrepentant in his views and beliefs. He died in 1674 at age 65 of kidney failure.
