About this audiobook
John Milton
John Milton was a seventeenth-century English poet, polemicist, and civil servant in the government of Oliver Cromwell. Among Milton’s best-known works are the classic epic Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, considered one of the greatest accomplishments in English blank verse, and Samson Agonistes. Writing during a period of tremendous religious and political change, Milton’s theology and politics were considered radical under King Charles I, found acceptance during the Commonwealth period, and were again out of fashion after the Restoration, when his literary reputation became a subject for debate due to his unrepentant republicanism. T.S. Eliot remarked that Milton’s poetry was the hardest to reflect upon without one’s own political and theological beliefs intruding.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not quite as good as Paradise Lost, but it's still a great work.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is not half as adventurous and heroic as Paradise lost. Still, I can’t say I did not benefit from it. The grammar and diction as always with Milton was very impressive. I guess I just did not like the storyline; nor did it tie up any loose ends in Paradise lost. Kind of a bummer
