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.
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.
“或许亚当就是坠入如此厄运,了解善恶,即是说,知恶以知善,”弥尔顿在《论出版自由》中写道。通过了解邪恶来尝试了解善良,有人会说这是勇敢之举,光需要影的反衬,但那是一个谎言——弥尔顿知道这点,于是他说“如此厄运”,如此忧伤。《失乐园》里装满他的虔诚、学识,哀...
评分《失乐园》是弥尔顿对《圣经•创世纪》1-3章的文学解读和再创作,借以他自身高超的文学才华,结合了圣经中的《以西结书》、《以赛亚书》、《启示录》展开了一些合理的想象和发挥,重述了一个伊甸园的故事。《失乐园》的文学价值是无需赘言的,他的头衔是号称英国文学...

Hail Satan!唉,苦命撒旦,上帝就是渣惹
评分I miss Chaucer...That's how much I dislike Milton.
评分在他的笔下撒旦就是路西法,以至于人们普遍默认了这一点。 但圣经中从未提及撒旦即路西法!据说这只是某个传教士的说法。
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”
评分Glory of glory
