John Milton
A talk by E. M. W. Tillyard , Litt.D., Master of Jesus College, Cambridge
' Milton belonged firmly to the pre-scientific age, when philosophy was still a part of theology.' He was deeply influenced by traditional cosmology, by Puritan ideas, and by the Cambridge Platonists; yet he was, the speaker believes, a highly selective and creative thinker-a poet in whom thought was fused with varied and powerful passions.
