News at Eleven: There's contradictory evidence about

whether he [John Milton] deprived his daughters of education, or forced it on them then complained that they did not live up to his standards, [Neil] Forsyth reports, but what is certain is that at the Restoration this was one seriously unhappy household. In 1662 the daughters were collectively stealing from the household and selling his books, presumably because they felt inadequately provided for.
