John Milton in the library (2 works)
- Milton: Paradise Lost — 1667–1674
The Fall told as an epic, "to justify the ways of God to men". Milton's own theology was unorthodox in places (he doubted the eternal generation of the Son); the poem itself is the English Christian epic. - Milton: Paradise Regained — 1671
Christ's temptation in the wilderness, where the second Adam wins back what the first lost.
