Paradise Lost Book-I

John Milton was an English poet, pamphleteer, historian, and an intellectual who served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667).

Written in blank verse, 'Paradise Lost' is widely considered to be one of the greatest works of literature ever written.
