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.

评分《如何阅读一本书》的作者认为有六部作品是有要求的读者必须要看的,至少每一个优秀的诗人或是作家都是这六部作品的读者。首先是《圣经》,然后是五部史诗作品:荷马《伊利亚特》、《奥德赛》,维吉尔史诗《埃涅阿斯纪》,但丁《神曲》,最后的史诗就是弥尔顿的《失乐园》...
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A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in it self Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n. //Awake, arise, or be forever fall’n (Book 1, line 330) // Nor grateful Evening mild; nor silent Night With this her solemn bird; nor walk by moon, Or glittering star-light without thee is sweet. (Book IV, 652)
