Expands upon Satan's attempted temptation of Christ in the desert, and provides a brief "sequel" to Paradise Lost, in which Paradise is regained by the adamancy of Christ. ( ) Milton recounts and reinterprets the Biblical story of Satan Tempting Christ in Paradise Regained, in which he lays open to criticism and derision the whole of human existence and history. There is a distinct undertone of defiance and bitterness. In the poem, Christ is represented, not so much as the only begotten Son of God, but a heroic moral figure, who triumphs over Satan, not by His Godliness, but by ethical and philosophical polemics, the very thing he criticizes. In attempting to “justify the ways of God to men”, Milton fails to do justice to either. (Read full review with illustrations at Nemo's Library) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Paradise Regained, by John Milton - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - I, WHO erewhile the happy Garden sung By one man's disobedience lost, now sing Recovered Paradise to all mankind, By one man's firm obedience fully tried Through all temptation, and the Tempter foiled In all his wiles, defeated and repulsed, And Eden raised in the waste Wilderness. Thou Spirit, who led'st this glorious Eremite Into the desert, his victorious field Against the spiritual foe, and brought'st him thence By proof the undoubted Son of God, inspire, As thou art wont, my prompted song, else mute, And bear through highth or depth of Nature's bounds, With prosperous wing full summed, to tell of deeds Above heroic, though in secret done, And unrecorded left through many an age: Worthy to have not remained so long unsung No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
