Jessica Martin begins a new series of the Christian epic John Milton, Paradise Lost
Christian epic by John Milton - or at least most - was released in 1667. Very ambitious in design and scope (although a quick read compared to some slimmish offers contemporary), was confused, and struggling readers, at least as they were raped. The printer, mid-term of the first race, persuaded Milton to write summaries of small plots before each book to help orient the reader, and give "a reason for what I have found many other , why the Poem Rimes. "Milton, a little tetchily, the obligation - of which more later. Were not these difficulties are the only ones. His contemporary poet Andrew Marvell wrote:
"The argument
held me for a wholly misdoubting
ruin it (because I saw him strong)
The
If you directly, Marvell is concerned that Milton could inadvertently fall all the Christian building in the fall and redemption in another myth - because he was a great epic poet. He compares it to Samson pulling down the temple "to avenge his point of view" - a staff telling comparison, like Milton, too, became blind (and he was very interested in Samson). Marvell is saying all this in a poem of praise, so that even their concerns have been designed to flatter, but that does not mean that there are real concerns. He spends a third of his poem to find different ways to describe the nature of extreme self-destructive potential of the proposed Milton.
Marvell was among the first to express that concern in the press, was certainly not the last. We found versions of the same throughout the reception of Milton's poem. The answers, for example, Blake and Shelley, who saw in Milton unconscious defense of Satan, in the hostile reaction of William Empson on Milton's description of God, in the lively deliberate borrowing humanist Philip Pullman. All this and much more, see Paradise Lost in a large production, with truculence hybrid that does something different from what it says on the tin. Not all see the problem of being in the same place, and most of them conclude that Milton was done in the world a kind of service anyway. But the eye of Milton was (at least) two of them agree. Milton often decide they do not - but only slightly - to write the poem of the explicit criticism of theodicy, who personally led and will now explain better. The poets themselves for the most part, however, that sometimes betrays the track like that if Milton had stuck to the "cold side") of the prose of his theological position would have been a little easier to nail.
However, Milton 
intend to write an English poem was great the first. He had been thinking about for over 20 years. In the course of 1641 to 1642, he scored some ideas on what the poem should be about. They were taken from the Bible, Old and New Testaments, but also varied according to national issues. He flirted, for example, wrote to King Arthur. His drive to write to both religious and moral in the model of the Renaissance humanist. "The purpose of learning," he wrote at that time "is to repair the ruins of our first parents to get to know just God." In other words, rebuilt from the destruction caused by a fall through the study. In saying this, Milton conceives everything you read (and his rank was both wide and deep) as a trend in this direction: Euripides Plato to Homer to Ovid (a favorite) of the Ariosto and Tasso and Shakespeare, as well as Job and the Apocalypse of St. John the Divine. Any value could help redeem. For Milton, the knowledge that led, albeit in a circuitous route and a "dark journey" Back in paradise, walk and talk with God in the cool of the evening. no surprise (although, as we have seen wonders Marvell) that their paradise contained everything that could fit in everything I had learned, everywhere.
Milton But in 1641, it was clear he could not move yet. He must put aside his poetic ambition to meet the political needs of his country in prose. There was a revolution to solve. It was only after the fall of the Commonwealth (and later his own imprisonment in 1659) was Milton turn their attention to poetry, he had planned for so long. Released from their civic political defeat global task, moved to the tendency of mankind to the destruction of their homes and not to disappoint its own expectations, Milton was finally ready to begin.
