John Milton's Paradise Lost

John Milton (1608-1674)

"One of the greatest poets of the English language, best-known for his epic poem PARADISE LOST (1667). Milton's powerful, rhetoric prose and the eloquence of his poetry had an immense influence especially on the 18th-century verse".

I liked Paradise Lost when I read it in school because it conveyed "Satan's side of the story", how he failed from grace and how he considers to be better to reign in hell than serve in Heaven. I thought it very interesting and FALSE! I find this irony kind of funny. I plan to read it again, now that it's here. Hope you enjoy it!
