John Milton (1608 to 1674)

Independent

 

Great despite his blindness.

John Milton was born in London. He grew up an Anglican, but later turned Presbyterian, and finally, Independent. Secular intellectuals speak highly of his poetry, but say little about his greatest works: Paradise Lost (1667), Paradise Regained (1671), and Samson Agonistes (1671).
