Synopsis "Paradise Lost "

Paradise Lost remains as challenging and relevant today as it was in the turbulent intellectual and political environment in which it was written. This edition aims to bring the poem as fully alive to a modern reader as it would have been to Milton's contemporaries. It provides a newly edited text of the 1674 edition of the poem--the last of Milton's lifetime--with carefully modernized spelling and punctuation. Marginal glosses define unfamiliar words, and extensive annotations at the foot of the page clarify Milton's syntax and poetics, and explore the range of literary, biblical, and political allusions that point to his major concerns. David Kastan's lively Introduction considers the central interpretative issues raised by the poem, demonstrating how thoroughly it engaged the most vital--and contested--issues of Milton's time, and which reveal themselves as no less vital, and perhaps no less contested, today. The edition also includes an essay on the text, a chronology of major events in Milton's life, and a selected bibliography, as well as the first known biography of Milton, written by Edward Phillips in 1694.

John Milton (Londres, 1608-1674) fue un eminente poeta, ensayista y funcionario público inglés, considerado una de las figuras más influyentes de la literatura occidental. Ferviente defensor de la causa puritana, apoyó la Mancomunidad de Inglaterra bajo Oliver Cromwell, sirviendo como secretario de lenguas extranjeras. Su obra cumbre, la epopeya El paraíso perdido (1667), fue compuesta en verso blanco tras quedar ciego, narrando la caída de Adán y Eva.

Nacido en una familia culta, Milton recibió una sólida formación clásica que reflejó en sus primeras obras como L'Allegro y Il Penseroso. Políticamente activo durante la guerra civil inglesa, escribió tratados radicales, destacando Areopagitica (1644) en defensa de la libertad de prensa. Sus escritos políticos influyeron en el pensamiento republicano.

Además de su obra maestra, escribió El paraíso recobrado y Sansón Agonistas. Su vida estuvo marcada por la agitación política, tres matrimonios y una ceguera progresiva que no detuvo su labor creativa. Falleció en 1674, consolidado como un autor de inmensa maestría literaria, a menudo comparado con Shakespeare.
