What is Paradise Regained about?

Few of Britain's most enduring men of letters have had their work pored over and picked apart by scholars to the same extent as that of John Milton. His 1667 epic poem, Paradise Lost, sits alongside the work of William Shakespeare and Thomas Hobbes as one of the most influential English texts of the 17th century. While this sprawling epic has become synonymous with the name Milton, it does not stand alone in his canon. Four years later, and only three before the author's death, Milton followed his masterwork with a sequel, Paradise Regained.Paradise Regained is written in a plainer, more direct form of verse than its predecessor. It's also shorter — weighing in at just over 2,000 lines to Paradise Lost's more than 10,500. While smaller in stature — and, perhaps, in cultural weight — than its predecessor, Paradise Regained remains a startling work, grappling with the nature of Christian faith and the philosophy of humanist morals and ethics. Such a rich and masterful work suggests a writer far ahead of his time, and our ongoing fascination with Milton in the modern age proves this to be true.
