-Paradise Lost*

W 1981 John Milton, The Franklin Library Edition

Notes

Paradise Lost by John Milton, published in 1667, is an epic poem that tells the story of the Fall of Man. It explores the biblical tale of Adam and Eve's temptation by Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Written in blank verse, the poem delves into themes of free will, obedience, and the nature of good and evil. Milton's portrayal of Satan as a complex, tragic figure has sparked much literary debate. Paradise Lost is considered one of the greatest works of English literature, known for its rich language and profound theological insights.
