Bound in burgundy leather, the book has burdungy moire silk end leaves, satin book marker, acid -free paper, hubbed spine, and gold gilding on three edges---in near FINE condition. John Milton, who lived from 1608-1674, graduated from CAMBRIDGE and began writing. Around 1637, Milton became absorbed over the theme of original sin. He brooded over ADAM and EVE, over their expulsion from Eden, over GOD and the Archangel MICHAEL, over the influence of SATAN upon Eve and upon Eve's descendants. These thoughts were to bear fruit in "Paradise Lost," the greatest modern epic. The great work, begun in some form as early as 1640, drew for its strength upon every element of Milton's intellectual and spiritual background. Echoing in its larger context the epics of HOMER and VIRGIL, Milton's poem achieves its singular power through the poet's innovative treatment of the old and the new. 360 pages.
