John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his lifeby publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems were published after this political defeat.
John Leonard is a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.
John Milton's celebrated epic poem exploring the cosmological, moral and spiritual origins of man's existence, Paradise Lost has been fully revised with an introduction by John Leonard in Penguin Classics.
In Paradise Lost Milton produced poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time, populated by a memorable gallery of grotesques. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked, innocent Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man.
Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and in danger of execution - Paradise Lost's apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to 'justify the ways of God to men', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity.
John Leonard's revised edition of Paradise Lost contains full notes, which elucidates Milton's biblical, classical and historical allusions and discuss his vivid, highly original use of language and blank verse.
版式设计,装帧,纸型,手感都上佳。 阅读时携带轻便,不像某些书死沉死沉能当板儿砖使。 近年来广西师大出版社的确下了番功夫,在纸质图书上从其他媒介收复了不少阵地。 原本弥尔顿的无韵诗翻译得倒也顺畅,选词也确实独到。 只是把大天使米迦勒翻译成了迈克尔。。。。 ma, ...
评分这部书的伟大就不讲了,想谈谈读完这本书之后的感受。有很多问题盘旋在脑中,一直不断发问不断辩驳。 文章共有两条线索:一是撒旦叛乱,二是亚当夏娃偷食禁果。 所有一切事件的前提是上帝富裕了万事万物自由意志,无论“作恶还是行善都是藉意志的自由选择”。 但撒旦还是...

评分诚然严谨如弥尔顿,在宗教革命的风头浪尖上,以文字为利器,刻画出一部气势磅礴的“失乐园”。在弥漫着boring气息的英美文学史课堂上。这股气势却也唤起我的阅读欲望,进入弥尔顿的世界。人类亿年间在地球上一同发展,中国的古文明古文化是国人骄傲之本。原来地球的另一端也有...

评分Early Modern真是天才辈出的时代,看来要达到更高程度的复杂性和对于结构的超越必须依托于一次从认知到本体的“断裂”
