A proposito di questo titolo

 Enter a realm where verse ascends and thought contends with eternity. The John Milton Library gathers the great works of England’s sovereign poet and sets them forth in living voice - unabridged, unhurried, and aflame with the music of epic song. Here, the fallen archangel speaks, Eden blooms and breaks, and the long struggle between light and shadow unfolds in measured lines. Let the ear become the eye. In these readings, paradise is lost and sought again, liberty wrestles with power, and the human soul stands poised between ruin and redemption. Wander through celestial courts or the silent chambers of inward vision, dwell within Milton’s vast imagination and inhabit his poetry.Public domain
