Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arcades: With Introduction, Notes and Indexes Young, a Scotchman, who subsequently became Master of Jesus College, Cambridge. More important still, Milton grew up in the stimulating atmosphere of cultured home-life. This was a signal advantage. Most men do not realise that the word 'culture' signifies anything very definite or desirable before they pass to the University, but for Milton home-life meant from the first broad interests, refinement and the easy, material prosperity under which the literary habit is best developed. In 162 5 he left St Paul's. Of his extant English poems3 only one, On Me Deal/2 of a Fair Infant, dates from his school-days; but we are told that he had written much verse, English and Latin. And his early training had done that which was all-important it had laid the foundation of the far ranging knowledge which makes Paradise Lost unique for diversity of suggestion and interest.
