โฆ Synopsis
Focusing on the temptation of Christ, John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Regained, suggests that everything lost to man in Paradise Lost is recaptured by Christ's sacrifices.
Published four years after Milton's masterpiece, Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained is much shorter and written in a simpler style than Paradise Lost, possibly as part of the author's intention to frame the style of the book within the context of the plainness of Jesus' teachings and demeanor. Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained have influenced numerous poets and writers, including many of the Romantics, William Blake, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and T. S. Eliot.
