Produktbeschreibung
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608-1674). The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time. Paradise Regained is a poem by English poet John Milton, first published in 1671 by John Milton. The volume in which it appeared also contained the poet's closet drama Samson Agonistes. Paradise Regained is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes; indeed, its title, its use of blank verse, and its progression through Christian history recall the earlier work. However, this effort deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.

Autorenporträt
John Milton (1608-1674) was an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant, best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost, one of the greatest works in the English language. Born in London, Milton was educated at Cambridge and later became deeply involved in the political and religious conflicts of his time, especially during the English Civil War. A staunch republican and advocate for liberty, Milton wrote extensively on issues of government, freedom of speech, and individual rights. Though he lost his eyesight in his later years, Milton continued to write, dictating his works to assistants. His profound influence on literature, politics, and religious thought endures, with Paradise Lost remaining a cornerstone of Western literary canon
