Paradise Regain’d

About “Paradise Regain’d”

Paradise Regained is an epic poem by John Milton, published in 1671. It was included in the same volume as his closet drama Samson Agonistes. The poem shares a title and themes with Milton’s earlier work Paradise Lost, and it also uses blank verse and follows a progression through Christian history. Unlike Paradise Lost, which focuses on the fall of man, Paradise Regained centers on the temptation of Christ as described in the Gospel of Luke. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
