John Milton's Paradise Lost, an epic poem on the clash
between God and his fallen angel, Satan, is a profound meditation
on fate, free will, and divinity, and one of the most beautiful
works in world literature. Extracted from the Modern Library's
highly acclaimed The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of
John Milton, this edition reflects up-to-date scholarship and
includes a substantial Introduction, fresh commentary, and other
features-annotations on Milton's classical allusions, a chronology
of the writer's life, clean page layouts, and an index-that make it
the definitive twenty-first-century presentation of John Milton's
timeless signature work.
