Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained

Portada
Signet Classic, 2001 - 360 páginas
Here in one volume are the complete texts of two of the greatest - and most controversial - epic poems in English literature, each a profound exploration of the moral problems of God's justice. Paradise Lostand Paradise Regaineddemonstrate Milton's genius for fusing sense and sound, classicism and innovation, narrative and drama, fortifying not merely our sense of what is beautiful but what is human as well. It leaves readers with no choice but to commit themselves totally with their minds and with their hearts.

John Milton was born in London on December 9, 1608, and studied at the University of Cambridge. He originally planned to become a clergyman, but abandoned those ambitions to become a poet. Political in his writings, he served a government post during the time of the Commonwealth. By 1660, he was completely blind but continued to write, finishing Paradise Lost in 1667, and Paradise Regained in 1671. He died in 1674.
