Paradise Lost & Paradise Regained

Here in one volume are the texts of two of the greatest - and most controversial - epic poems in English literature, each a profound exploration of the moral problems of God's justice. "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained" demonstrate Milton's genius for fusing sense and sound, classicism and innovation, narrative and drama, fortifying not merely our sense of what is beautiful but what is human as well. It leaves readers with no choice but to commit themselves totally with their minds and with their hearts.
