By: John MILTON (1608 - 1674)
Paradise Lost is the first epic of English
literature written in the classical style. John Milton saw himself as
the intellectual heir of Homer, Virgil, and Dante, and sought to create a
work of art which fully represented the most basic tenets of the
Protestant faith. His work, which was dictated from memory and
transcribed by his daughter, remains as one of the most powerful English
poems. (Summary by Caeristhiona)
This is a recording of the text of Milton’s first edition of 1667, which had ten books, unlike the second edition (1674) which was redivided into twelve books in the manner of Virgil’s Aeneid. See Wikipedia entry.
