A SET OF THE POETS IN PARADISE LOST PARADISE REGAINED and SAMSON AGONISTES Milton revived the heroic verse of Homer and Virgil to frame the tale of Satan and Paradise that has become the best-known epic poem written in English. He had difficulty in finding a publisher because of the plague of 1665 which killed many pressmen and the Great Fire of the following year which destroyed many printing housesâ€”and those publishers who were still operating were wary of the project because of Milton's anti-Restoration sympathies.<br> Simmons to whom he finally came drove a hard bargain and according to the agreement reached and the number of copies sold Milton was paid a total of Å15. Miltonâ€™s work survives and is revered to this day as amongst the most significant poetry and prose ever penned and additionally important at a defining moment in the development of the English language. A truly towering figure Milton remains one of the most celebrated and analyzed poets in English literature. Dryden described â€˜Paradise Lostâ€™ as â€˜one of the greatest most noble and sublime poems which either this age or nation has producedâ€™ while Blake keying in on the poemâ€™s heretical implications described Milton as â€˜a true Poet and of the Devilâ€™s party without knowing it.â€™<br> This thorough collection includes not only â€˜Paradise Lostâ€™ and the other major works but the sonnets psalms translations and his work in Latin. As well there is a fine Memoir of Milton and history of his literary work. John Macrone unknown
