James, Election 1881".  Edward Douglas Fawcett (1866 - 1960) was an English mountaineer, philosopher and novelist.    John Milton (1608 - 1674) English poet, pamphleteer, and historian, considered the most significant English author after William Shakespeare.  Milton is best known for Paradise Lost, widely regarded as the greatest epic poem in English. Together with Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes, it confirms Milton’s reputation as one of the greatest English poets. In his prose works Milton advocated the abolition of the Church of England and the execution of Charles I. From the beginning of the English Civil Wars in 1642 to long after the restoration of Charles II as king in 1660, he espoused in all his works a political philosophy that opposed tyranny and state-sanctioned religion. His influence extended not only through the civil wars and interregnum but also to the American and French revolutions.  He also served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell.   Shipping Costs UK delivery - £4 Europe Printed Papers - £14 U.S.A. and the Rest of the World - £20 *Reduced shipping for multiple purchases Get images that make Supersized seem small.Showcase your items with Auctiva's Listing Templates!
