Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste Brought death into the world... Sing heavenly muse' From almost the moment of its first publication in 1667, Paradise Lost was considered a classic. It is difficult now to appreciate both how audacious an undertaking it represents, and how astonishing its immediate and continued success was. Over the course of twelve books Milton wrote an epic poem that would 'justify the ways of God to men', a mission that required a complex drama whose source is both historical and deeply personal. The struggle for ascendancy between God and Satan is played out across hell, heaven, and earth but the consequences of the Fall are all too humanly tragic - pride, ambition, and aspiration the motivating forces. In this new edition derived from their acclaimed Oxford Authors text, Stephen Orgel and Jonathan Goldberg discuss the complexity of Milton's poem in a new introduction, and on-page notes explainits language and allusions.

Best known for his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost, Milton is also a master of subltle lyric harmony. He is one of the greatest writers of the 17th century, and of all time.

An introduction explores the ideological complexities of Milton's time, complemented by a chronology of his life, a select bibliography, and biographies of key figures mentioned.

Exploring themes of poetic melancholy, the speaker in this reflective ode seeks to replace "vain deluding Joys" with "divinest Melancholy" to inspire future verses. The work serves as a companion to L'Allegro, contrasting mirth with a deeper introspection. The speaker idealizes melancholy as a pathway to prophetic insight, and the poem unfolds in couplets of iambic tetrameter, creating a rhythmic exploration of the profound emotions associated with contemplation and reflection in art.

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love. Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
