前言

　　我收到一张明信片，邀请我为《牛津英国名人传记大辞典》撰写弥尔顿的生平。创始编辑科林?马修在明信片的角落草草写道：　“我的前任固执地认为此项任务十分重要，他要亲自来写，而我决定把它委托给您。弥尔顿的生平将是我们学术大厦最重要的基石之一。”我感到被赋予了一项神圣的使命，即对英国最伟大诗人的生平进行权威性的描述，这一描述堪比对英国最伟大的剧作家(彼得?霍兰撰写的莎士比亚)及英国最伟大的小说家(罗斯玛丽?阿什顿撰写的乔治?艾略特)的生平描述，该套丛书中的这两本册子已经出版。作为项目总监的罗伯特?费伯为《牛津英国名人传记大辞典》的问世做出了巨大贡献。他是牛津大学出版社优秀传统下的一名出色的学者型编辑，他以无与伦比的能力为这项任务的完成奠定了坚实的基础，这样才使我得以在上面添砖加瓦。

章节摘录

　　Becoming a writer1　　John Milton (1608－1674),poet and polemicist, was born at 6.5o a.m. onFriday 9 December 16o8 in the house at thesign of the Spread Eagle, Bread Street, London,and baptized in nearby All IIallows Church on2o December, the third child of John Milton(1562-1647),　and his wife,　Sara,　nee Jeffrey(c.1572-1657). The house in Bread Street accom-modated the scriveners business of Mi] tons fat,her,and was also the family home. The most remark-able feature of the domestic life of Miltons child-hood was music: Mihons father" was a composer,and the music that he wrote was designed for per-forrnance in private houses, without an audience.Milton grew up in a household in which musicwas performed, and his skills as a. singer in con-sorts and as a player of the organ and the bass violwere acquired as a child in Bread Street.Education: St Pauls and CambridgeMilton was initially educated at home by pri-vate tutors, including Thomas Young, a Scottishschoohnaster who eventually became master ofJesus College, Cambridge. In Ad patrem (To myFather) Milton was later to express his grati-tude that his father had paid for lessons in Latin,Greek, Hebrew, French, and Italian. It is likelythat instruction in these languages began withprivate tutors; although Milton went on to studythe ancient languages at school, modern lan-guages were not taught in schools, and all ofMiltons instruction in French and Italian (andpossibly Spanish) was given by private tutors. Atan unknown date between 1615 and 1621 Miltonbecame a pupil at nearby St Pauls School; themost likely date is 1620, when the departure ofThomas Young for a pulpit in Hamburg may haveprompted the decision to send Milton to school.
