John Milton— the greatest revolutionary poet in English literary history in the 17th century, an age of Revolution and Restoration.
Paradise Lost was finished in 1665, after seven years’ labor in darkness.
It is a long epic in 12 books, written in blank verse. The story were taken from the Old Testment: the creation; the rebellion in Heaven of Satan and his fellow-angels; their defeat and expulsion from Heaven; the creation of the earth and of Adam and Eve; the fallen angels in the Hell plotting against God; Satan’s temptation of Eve; and the depature of Adam and Eve from Eden.
Paradise Lost
The poem goes on to tell how Satan took revenge by tempting Adam and Eve, the first human beings created by God, to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge against God’s instructions. For their disobedience, Adam and Eve were driven out of Paradise. They were sorry for what they had done and prayed to God. In the last book they were given the hope for redemption. The poem ended with Adam and Eve walking away from Paradise, hand in hand, and the gates of Eden were closed behind them.
