Milton--Paradise lost

This book provides a new and stimulating introduction to Paradise Lost, arguably the greatest epic in the English language. David Loewenstein examines Milton's poem in its historical, theological and literary context, and highlights the poet's imaginative daring as he revises the epic tradition and brilliantly elaborates upon Genesis. A concluding chapter surveys the influence of this visionary poem as a source of creative invention for later writers, and there is a concise guide to further reading.
