Paradise Lost (MILTON, John)

EDITED BY WILLIAM KERRIGAN, JOHN RUMRICH, AND STEPHEN M. FALLON.

John Miltons Paradise Lost, an epic poem on the clash between God and his fallen angel, Satan, is a profound meditation on fate, free will, and divinity, and one of the most beautiful works in world literature. Extracted from the Modern Library's highly acclaimed The Complete Poetry and Essentia! Prose of John Milton, this edition reflects up-to-date scholar-ship and includes a substantial Introduction, fresh commentary, and other features—annotations on Miltons classical allusions, a chronology of the writers life, clean page layouts, and an index—that make it the definitive twenty-first-century presentation of John Miltons timeless signature work.
