Description
Penguin Classics Paradise Lost
A majestic epic poem of cosmic scale, conjuring up a vast and awe-inspiring cosmos, Milton's Paradise Lost is a masterpiece of human tragedy. At its centre are the charismatic Satan and naked Adam and Eve, whose story spans huge tracts of space and time.
Written in the poet's fifties, blind and bitterly disappointed by the Restoration, Paradise Lost has led to intense debate about its ambivalence towards authority. Was it a justification of God's ways to men, or an exposure of the cruelty of Christianity? This edition, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, brings the poem to life in a gorgeous new clothbound edition.
