18265historical_info = flavor_eng.180.historical_info John Milton was an influential English poet and civil servant during the English Civil War and the subsequent Commonwealth and Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote several pamphlets advocating for freedom and the separation of Church and state. Later in his life he became blind, but it did not prevent him from continuing his literary and political pursuits.
