Descrizione
In 1658 John Milton, grieving the loss of his wife, his sight, and his political hopes, set out ‘to justify the ways of God to man’. To tell the story of the angels’ Fall and Adam and Eve’s exile from Paradise was ambitious enough, but Milton went further. He forged a new style of epic blank verse in the vernacular, openly invoking the same muse who had inspired Homer and Virgil. The result was a work of poetic and psychological genius. The stern beauty of Milton’s poetry, with its stately unfolding clauses and inexorable forward movement, is without parallel.
