Hi friends hope you all have a great day ahead…. Today i am going to share you all about John Milton. He is the god-gifted organ-voice of England belonged to an orthodox puritan family. He started writing poetry when he was twenty four. For him the nature and function of poetry was essentially religious. He obtained his M.A degree from Christ’s College, Cambridge and by the age of thirty, Milton had become th most learned man in the country. The death of his first two wives, his loss of sight, his insecurity caused by political changes and his imprisonment did not swerve him from his pursuit of poetry. His major works are Comus (1634), Lycidas (1638), Paradise Lost (1667), and Samson Agonistes (1671).
Paradise Lost is an ambitiously designed poem in twelve books. It is the only completed epic in English and it narrates the Biblical tale of the Fall of Man which “brought death into the world, and all our woe” Adam and Eve, the first human beings created by god, lost the paradise because they ate the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden; Eve succumbed to the wiles of the Devil, and Adam yielded to Eve’s persuation. To be continued….. With Regards.
