Paradise Lost (Milton - Worldview ed.)

Author: John Milton

ISBN: 9781944503611

Binding: paperback

Section: Poetry

While Homer, Virgil, and Dante chose to tell the stories of mere men who conquered kingdoms, sacked cities, and passed through terrors, Milton chose as the subject for his epic poem one of the greatest events in the history of the world—the Fall. Milton portrays the devil as a classical hero who infects the first man and woman with pride and self-regard. The greatest English poem of all time, this Canon Classic tells the heartbreaking story of how man lost paradise, and how God would one day restore it. This Worldview Edition features an introduction divided into sections on The World Around, About the Author, What Other Notables Said, Setting, Characters, & Plot Summary, Worldview Analysis, and 21 Significant Questions & Answers.
