John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his lifeby publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems were published after this political defeat.
John Leonard is a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.
John Milton's celebrated epic poem exploring the cosmological, moral and spiritual origins of man's existence, Paradise Lost has been fully revised with an introduction by John Leonard in Penguin Classics.
In Paradise Lost Milton produced poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time, populated by a memorable gallery of grotesques. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked, innocent Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man.
Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and in danger of execution - Paradise Lost's apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to 'justify the ways of God to men', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity.
John Leonard's revised edition of Paradise Lost contains full notes, which elucidates Milton's biblical, classical and historical allusions and discuss his vivid, highly original use of language and blank verse.
弥尔顿是个清教徒,然而在《失乐园》中常常露出伊壁鸠鲁派的小尾巴,这是一件十分有趣的事。 撒旦划出地狱之门面对茫茫的混沌,有下面一段话: “这个狂乱的深渊是自然的胎盘, 恐怕也是坟墓, 既不是海,也不是地,不是风,不是火所构成, 而是这些元素的纷然杂陈, 产生了原...
評分 評分 評分《如何阅读一本书》的作者认为有六部作品是有要求的读者必须要看的,至少每一个优秀的诗人或是作家都是这六部作品的读者。首先是《圣经》,然后是五部史诗作品:荷马《伊利亚特》、《奥德赛》,维吉尔史诗《埃涅阿斯纪》,但丁《神曲》,最后的史诗就是弥尔顿的《失乐园》...
評分勘誤,英文以此本為標準: Jonh Milton ,Complete poems and major prose, ed. by Merritt Y. Hughes, The Macmillan Publishing Company, 1985. p70 第三卷第145行,多了一句that Man should find grace,原文應是: Thy sovran sentence, that Man should...
路西法不肯屈服於上帝,不斷反抗,最終化身為罪惡的蛇。人類犯下最初的原罪之後,便慌忙嚮上帝卑躬屈膝,請求寬恕。如果是我,我寜願做那寜死不屈的魔,萬劫不復也在所不惜。越看越覺得自己真是個反人類份子。
评分I miss Chaucer...That's how much I dislike Milton.
评分沒中文翻譯看不懂。Milton自創瞭不知道多少詞......寫此書目的就是against monarchy and regain the liberty for England。 其實覺得Eva和Satan是一夥的...jian。。。。。‘with accent sweet renewed’..Adam就是一直再被洗腦的狀態..
评分What is the difference between God and devil? What is the difference between man and angel? What is free will, if anything, predicted by God? What is fall, if anything, begetting us? For me paradise lost is more than an epic poem, but a myth left by the greatest English poet ever.
评分Early Modern真是天纔輩齣的時代,看來要達到更高程度的復雜性和對於結構的超越必須依托於一次從認知到本體的“斷裂”
