Synopsis

El Paraíso Perdido es la obra de toda una vida dedicada a la literatura, como se desprende del paralelismo de algunas partes de la misma con otros escritos de John Milton (1608-1667). Dedicado a la política durante un tiempo de la mano de Oliveiro Cromwell, Milton reúne en su literatura todo el enriquecimiento que le aportan los distintos escenarios de su vida diplomática. Junta a ello su obra irradia el convencimiento pleno en la religión cristiana heredada del mensaje de su padre, un convencido católico ex protestante. Esta segunda parte la desarrola plenamente en este poema bíblico religioso de reminiscencias dantescas.

About this title

About the Author:

John Milton was a seventeenth-century English poet, polemicist, and civil servant in the government of Oliver Cromwell. Among Milton s best-known works are the classic epic Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, considered one of the greatest accomplishments in English blank verse, and Samson Agonistes.

Writing during a period of tremendous religious and political change, Milton s theology and politics were considered radical under King Charles I, found acceptance during the Commonwealth period, and were again out of fashion after the Restoration, when his literary reputation became a subject for debate due to his unrepentant republicanism. T.S. Eliot remarked that Milton s poetry was the hardest to reflect upon without one s own political and theological beliefs intruding.
