Description

In the wilderness Satan tempts Christ with worldly power and glory, and Jesus answers with humility, obedience, and spiritual firmness. Milton?s sequel epic of faith tested and paradise regained through resistance. Spoken as when the quiet refusal of glory becomes the loudest victory in the poem?s long argument.

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.
