Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the
17th-century English poet John Milton. It was originally published in 1667 in
ten books, with a total of over ten thousand individual lines of verse. A
second edition followed in 1674, changed into twelve books with minor revisions throughout and a note on
the versification.
The
poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and
Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to
men". Paradise Lost is often considered one of the greatest literary works
in the English language.
