内容简介 在线阅读本书

Here in one volume are the complete texts of two of the greatest epic poems in English literature, each a profound exploration of the moral problems of God's justice. They demonstrate Milton's genius for classicism and innovation, narrative and drama-and are a grand example of what Samuel Johnson called his "peculiar power to astonish."

Edited by Christopher Ricks

PARADISE REGAINED is concerned with the devil''s temptation of Christ in the wilderness. It''s a substantial subject; nonetheless, the work is often seen by critics as a coda to Milton''s masterwork, PARADISE LOST. Anton Lesser, a longtime member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, takes us inside Milton''s seventeenth-century blank verse with remarkable clarity and emotion. One can almost hear Milton grappling with the English Civil War, the Reformation, and his personal quest to express Christ''s divinity through heightened yet comparatively modest phrases. Lesser''s voice is completely at one with Milton''s subject matter, meter, and language. After three centuries, this work is much more accessible than one might think.
