The Magnificent Epic Poem by John Milton

Paradise Lost by English poet John Milton is an epic poem in 12 books, first published in 1674 in the UK.

A masterful literary classic, telling the story of the temptation of Adam and Eve by fallen angel Satan, and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Line numbers included as a study aid.

Excerpt

‘How can I live without thee, how forego

Thy sweet converse, and love so dearly joined,

To live again in these wild woods forlorn?

Should God create another Eve, and I

Another rib afford, yet loss of thee

Would never from my heart; no, no, I feel

The link of nature draw me: flesh of flesh,

Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state

Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.’

Synopsis

Paradise Lost is considered Milton's masterpiece, and helped confirm his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time. It follows the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan, and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. In this epic poem, Milton conjures a vast, awe-inspiring universe ranging across huge expanses of space and time. Yet, by putting a charismatic Satan and naked Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also managed to create an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man.
