约翰·弥尔顿与失乐园【中英】简介(8)
Milton's magnum opus, the blank-verse epic poem Paradise Lost, was composed by the blind and impoverished Milton from 1658 to 1664 (first edition),
with small but significant revisions published in 1674 (second edition).
As a blind poet, Milton dictated his verse to a series of aides in his employ. It has been argued that the poem reflects his personal despair at the failure of the Revolution yet affirms an ultimate optimism in human potential.
Some literary critics have argued that Milton encoded many references to his unyielding support for the "Good Old Cause"
On 27 April 1667,Milton sold the publication rights for Paradise Lost to publisher Samuel Simmons for £5 (equivalent to approximately £770 in 2015 purchasing power),
with small but significant revisions published in 1674 (second edition).
