Paradise Lost (6P)

In brief, Milton is fully recognizable as a Renaissance literary artist. His service to his God is inseparable from his service to poetry and to the cultivated and aesthetically beautiful handling of language. It is fit to encompass and express a wide range of human experience. The work for which he had prepared himself through all of his life, a Biblical epic in the grand classic manner, is also a crowning product of ripe, autumnal Renaissance culture. Soft 674p
