'''''Paradise Lost''''' is an epic poem by [[John Milton]], originally published in 1667. It describes the fall of man in 12 books and was followed by a ''Paradise Regained'' in 1671 which described the temptations of [[Christ]]. Many contemporary scholars consider it the greatest modern epic and a valuable treatise on the nature of mankind as a faulted being.
