Description
1886 BEAUTIFUL John Milton Paradise Lost Sonnets Psalms Illustrated Binding



“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.”

― John Milton, Paradise Lost



A charming collection of John Milton’s works including ‘Paradise Lost’ and ‘Paradise Regained’. This beautiful late 19th-century British edition was notable for its decorative front cover as well as the illustrated border around the text of each page! In addition to the borders, this book features charming full-page engravings with captions.



‘Paradise Lost’ was critically acclaimed and well-received by many famed personalities, including Samuel Johnson who states.

“[Paradise Lost shows] Milton’s peculiar power to astonish…and he seems to have been well acquainted with his own genius, and to know what it was the Nature had bestowed upon him more bountifully than upon others: the power of displaying the vast, illuminating the splendid, enforcing the awful, darkening the gloomy, and aggravating the dreadful.



In addition to the ‘Paradise’ works, this book includes Milton’s sonnets, his edition of the Psalms, as well as excerpts from his translations of Horace, Dante, Sophocles, Seneca, and Geoffrey of Monmouth.
