About this title: Milton takes the traditional epic and transforms it with the clarity of his moral vision and with the power of his language, turning it into triumphant blank verse--seldom used in his day except in drama--that is moving, exciting, and full of the grandeur of Milton's poetic vision.

"I know this is one of the great classics of all time, but I have never been able to get over the portrayal of Eve. Honestly, the first time I read it (granted, I was way young, maybe a freshman in high school or before), I thought God made Eve mentally challenged because she was so incredibly stupid.....

I regret to say I shall never be a fan of Milton, which is ironic, since I suspect his take on matters spiritual all too well reflects my own. Which is, I suppose, why he's important: in Western, especially European thought, Milton, or at least the ideas he explores in these poems, border on ubiquitous."
