Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674).
The first version, published in 1667, consists of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse.
It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
It is anyway a huge political metaphor concerning the period of the Restauration of the monarchy (Stuart Era).
