"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven."
― John Milton, Paradise Lost
A charming collection of John Milton's works including 'Paradise Lost' and 'Paradise Regain'd' among his other poetry and writings. This book is filled with eight steel engravings and is bound in a red and gold embossed cover.
'Paradise Lost' was critically acclaimed and well-received by many famed personalities, including Samuel Johnson who states.
"[Paradise Lost shows] Milton's peculiar power to astonish…and he seems to have been well acquainted with his own genius, and to know what it was the Nature had bestowed upon him more bountifully than upon others: the power of displaying the vast, illuminating the splendid, enforcing the awful, darkening the gloomy, and aggravating the dreadful.
In addition to the 'Paradise' works, this book includes Milton's sonnets, 'Paradise Regained', and various translations.
