Paradise Lost by the 17th-century English poet John Milton is an epic poem in blank verse. Initially published in 1667 as ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse, a second edition in 1674 expanded it to twelve books, reminiscent of Virgil’s Aeneid, with minor revisions. This work is widely regarded as Milton’s masterpiece and played a significant role in establishing him as one of the finest English poets in history. The poem delves into the biblical narrative of the fall of man, depicting the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
