Description

Paradise Lost and Regained is a complete collection of Milton's epic poems focused on Biblical themes of human nature. The first part features the story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, told in the form of epic poem in blank verse. Paradise Regained deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.

Author

John Milton (1608–1674) wrote the English epic that still defines the language of heaven and hell. Paradise Lost, composed in blank verse after the Civil War and in the darkness of his blindness, retells the Fall with a grandeur that makes Satan magnetic and Adam and Eve painfully human. Milton was also a polemicist for liberty — of press, of conscience, of the commonwealth — and a civil servant under Cromwell.
