Paradise Lost (Modern Library Classics)

<p><b>Edited by William Kerrigan, John Rumrich, and Stephen M. Fallon<br></b><br>John Milton’s <i>Paradise Lost</i>, 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 <i>The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton</i>, 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.</p>
