Paradise Regained by John Milton is a poem by English poet John Milton, first published in 1671. 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.
Milton composed
Paradise Regained at his cottage in Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire.
Paradise Regained is four books long and comprises 2, 065 lines; in contrast,
Paradise Lost is twelve books long and comprises 10, 565 lines. As such, Barbara K. Lewalski has labelled the work a ‘brief epic’.
