Following both the adventures of Satan and the lives of Adam and Eve, this telling of key biblical stories is split into multiple books to form an epic poem. Beginning with Satan’s promise to corrupt God’s Earth, Milton tells the tale of how Satan entered the Garden of Eden and filled Adam and Eve’s angelic existence with sin. Written in blank verse, this seventeenth-century English poem solidified Milton’s reputation as one of the greatest poets of his time.
Yazar hakkında
John Milton (1608–1674) was an English poet, polemicist, man of letters, and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse. Milton’s poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day.
