Description

Publishers of Paradise Lost have long been regarded as bold in their ambition. First published in 1667, this epic poem has stood the test of time, its enduring success a testament to Milton's vision.

The struggle for ascendancy between God and Satan is at the heart of this complex drama, one that explores the human condition through the consequences of the Fall. Pride, ambition, and aspiration are the motivating forces behind the tragic events that unfold across hell, heaven, and earth.

This new edition of Paradise Lost features an introduction by Stephen Orgel and Jonathan Goldberg, as well as on-page notes explaining the poem's language and allusions. A valuable addition to Oxford World's Classics, this affordable volume reflects a commitment to scholarship and provides a wealth of additional features for further study.
