Paradise Lost
By:
- Synopsis
- Milton is best known for his epic poem Paradise Last, a magnum opus written in blank verse. It was composed by the blind and impoverished Milton from 1658 to 1664 with small but significant revisions published in 1674 (second edition). Milton is supposed to have dictated his verse to a series of aides in his employ. It has been argued that the poem reflects his personal despair at the failure of the Revolution, yet affirms an ultimate optimism in human potential. Milton sold the publication rights of Paradise Lost in 1667, to the publisher Samuel Simmons.
