Eighteenth-century example of Milton's masterpiece, Paradise Lost, A Poem in Twelve Books and Paradise Regained.

First published in 1667, Paradise Lost is generally conceded to be one of the greatest poems in the English language and there is no religious epic in English that measures up to Milton's masterpiece. Milton performed an artists service to his God.

By 1688, when England was on the verge of the Whig revolution, Milton's reputation had revived considerably.

He was commended for his republicanism as well as his record as a defender of liberty.

His supporters believed that his greatest poetic achievement merited this handsome, monumental edition.
