Paradise Regained

Paradise Regained is by far a coda to John Milton's masterpiece, Paradise Lost. It picks up with Satan's temptation of Christ in the wilderness. It's a substantial subject that is written in fiction, yet with the silent background of Milton's own grappling with the English Civil War, the Reformation, and his personal quest to express Christ's divinity through heightened yet comparatively modest phrases. A must read.

John Milton (1608–1674) was an English poet, prose polemicist, and civil servant for the English Commonwealth. Most famed for his epic poem Paradise Lost, Milton is celebrated as well for his eloquent treatise condemning censorship. Considered the supreme English poet.
