- Inhalt
- In this seminar we read one of the most significant epics written in English literature and beyond, John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667). Written in the tradition of Homer and Vergil, the puritan writer John Milton took on the entire tradition of Western epic literature writing a Christian epic. In his provocative and amazingly imaginative work, he tells the story of “man’s first disobedience” and wants to "justify the ways of God to men." He turns biblical characters into heroes, an attempt that works best with Satan. Does this make Paradise Lost a failure turning the whole Christian narrative upside down? Milton’s position in the literature of the restoration period speaks for itself. As a supporter of parliamentary, puritan rule under Cromwell, Milton was not a friend of the restoration of the monarchy under King Charles II. In spite of all this, he was acknowledged as a national poet. He influenced generations of writers all over Europe and was translated in many languages. Over the course of twelve books John Milton wrote an epic poem depicting the struggle between God and Satan taking place across hell, heaven, and earth.
