Description
Originally entitled: The Story of Marie Powell: Wife to Mr. Milton.
Wife to Mr. Milton is an exploration into the marriage of a man the author considered one of the heinous monsters in the English poetic pantheon—John Milton—and how his wife was ill-used by him. Milton's first wife was sixteen when they married, and Milton was after her dowry. When it did not follow he proved domineering and dishonest, unresponsive to her sensuousness, her down-to-earth wit.--Independent Publishers Group
Graves provides a sympathetic portrait of the witty and intelligent young woman whose marriage to the Puritan writer John Milton was marked by his domineering personality and refusal to acknowledge her talents.--price grabber.com
