Why are so many questions on English poetry left unanswered?
English poetry is a pretty old thing, and no offense, but not many have interest in English poetry or have proper knowledge to answer these questions. Note: How old English poetry is depends on when it was written; while poetry may not be a hot topic currently, there are many contemporary poets and there has always been. Poetry will probably never completely vanish, and there may be future times when it experiences revival. Poetry can be particularly difficult to understand and to write because some of the technical aspects of brilliant poetry are not easily grasped. It is easy to write, to like and to loathe doggerel.

Did John Milton change the old style of writing?
John Milton daringly attempted cosmic themes in regard to the lives and destiny of man, which in itself was a bold change from the old themes. The old themes in English Poetry and poetry elsewhere centred on themes consisting of heroic acts of kings, knights, demons and angels. Milton brought theme to the life of the lowly man and his indebtedness to his creator. It is true that whoever reads and sings his Paradise Lost will begin to think on similar lines and begin to write poems with the same words, tune and imagery, which was exactly what happened in his times. Thus John Milton pivoted the old style of writing in English Poetry to what is more good, popular and practical. It depends on what is meant by 'the old style of writing' if this is the transition between middle english and modern english (the instead of ye) then shakespeare is most likely the protaganist in this process. English, per se is a constantly evolving language, it steals and absorbs, changes and makes its own. It has its own sub categories as in 'American english' which is distinctly owned by that continent.
