Book Overview

Amyntor: Or A Defense Of Milton�������s Life is a book written by John Toland in 1699. The book is a defense of the life of the famous English poet, John Milton, who was widely criticized for his political and religious views. Toland argues that Milton's life and work should be celebrated, rather than criticized, and that his views were in fact ahead of his time. He also defends Milton against accusations of atheism and argues that his work was deeply religious. The book is written in a clear and persuasive style, and includes extensive quotes from Milton's works to support Toland's arguments. Overall, Amyntor is a fascinating exploration of the life and work of one of England's most celebrated poets, and a defense of his legacy against his many critics.Containing, One: A General Apology For All Writings Of That Kind.
