Synopsis
Excerpt from Milton's Paradise Lost: Books I and II; With Introduction, Notes, and Diagrams
This little book, the outgrowth of teaching, is designed to meet the wants of students. Among the points of difference between it and similar editions, it includes some of the best results of recent investigation, and it omits certain passages that jar on the reverence due to youth.' With very slight exceptions the text is Masson's.* The notes may seem at first sight too numerous; but many of them are intended for teachers, and examination will show that they are calculated to stimulate rather than Supersede thought.
The introductory matter should be read carefully before beginning the critical study.

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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The first book of this epic poem in blank verse follows Satan, a fallen angel cast down to the depths of Hell with his legions of fallen angels after revolting against God. The author presents a vivid depiction of Hell, not as a central location but a place of utter darkness referred to as Chaos. After recovering from their fall, Satan rallies his followers and comforts them with hopes of regaining Heaven. He reveals an ancient prophecy foretelling the creation of a new world and a new species. Seeking to determine the truth of this prophecy and its implications, Satan calls for a council of his followers. From the depths of Hell, the infernal palace of Pandemonium rises suddenly, where Satan's followers assemble to discuss their fate and the possibility of challenging Heaven's authority once more. This book sets the stage for the epic struggle between good and evil, exploring themes of rebellion, the consequences of sin, and the nature of hope amidst despair. The author's profound insights into these timeless themes make this book a captivating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the human condition and the nature of the universe.
