John Milton's Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by English poet John Milton. It was originally published in 1667 in ten books, with over ten thousand individual lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, redivided into twelve books (much like Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions. Most of the poem was written while Milton was blind, and was transcribed for him. Captioned: This is an illustration by M. Burges after John Baptist Medina printed in London in 1688
