Di seguito inserisco il testo in inglese, di cui terminare la traduzione, per completezza dell'articolo. Giomol 22:51, Apr 27, 2004 (UTC)~
- The protagonist of this Protestant epic, is the fallen angel, Satan. Milton presents Satan almost sympathetically, as an ambitious and prideful being who defies his creator, omnipotent God, and wages war on heaven, only to be defeated and cast down. Some critics regard the character of Satan as a Byronic hero.
- Milton begins his story in media res, after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and cast down by God into Hell. In Pandæmonium, Lucifer must employ his rhetorical ability to organize his followers; he is aided by Mammon and Beelzebub.
- Later, Lucifer enters the Garden of Eden, where he successfully tempts Eve, wife of Adam, to eat fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
- Influences include the Bible, Milton's own Puritan upbringing and religious perspective, Edmund Spenser, and the Roman poet Virgil.
- On April 27, 1667 the blind, impoverished Milton sold the copyright of Paradise Lost for £10.
- Later in life, Milton wrote Paradise Regained, charting God's returning to man the possibility of paradise. This sequel has never had a reputation equal to the earlier poem. In The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, William Blake commented:
- The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.
- In the late 1970s, the Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki wrote an opera based on Paradise Lost.
