具体描述
John Milton's celebrated epic poem exploring the cosmological, moral and spiritual origins of man's existence, Paradise Lost has been fully revised with an introduction by John Leonard in Penguin Classics.
In Paradise Lost Milton produced poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time, populated by a memorable gallery of grotesques. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked, innocent Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man.
Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and in danger of execution - Paradise Lost's apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to 'justify the ways of God to men', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity.
John Leonard's revised edition of Paradise Lost contains full notes, which elucidates Milton's biblical, classical and historical allusions and discuss his vivid, highly original use of language and blank verse.
作者简介
John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his lifeby publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems were published after this political defeat.
John Leonard is a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.

用户评价
在他的笔下撒旦就是路西法，以至于人们普遍默认了这一点。 但圣经中从未提及撒旦即路西法！据说这只是某个传教士的说法。
评分Hail Satan！唉，苦命撒旦，上帝就是渣惹
评分A blurred pre- and postlapsarian reading of Christian stories (Eden), as well as embedded political critiques (thru Satan and Eve etc). Personally not my favorite only b/c too well-versed to read.
评分Is me so late the glory of that glory?
评分Early Modern真是天才辈出的时代，看来要达到更高程度的复杂性和对于结构的超越必须依托于一次从认知到本体的“断裂”
