Paradise Lost (John Milton)
[Easton Press]

Paradise Lost is an epic poem that recounts Satan's rebellion, the fall of the angels, and the temptation and expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden. Written in majestic blank verse, the work explores free will, obedience, pride, and the nature of divine justice, giving complex psychological depth even to its rebel protagonist. Milton's synthesis of biblical narrative, classical epic, and theological reflection has made the poem a cornerstone of English literature.
