John Milton, Paradise Regained
The Biblically Annotated Edition
John Milton's stunning second epic focuses upon Christ's triumph over Satan found in the New Testament synoptic gospel accounts of the temptation of Jesus in the Judean wilderness. Stallard's edition of PARADISE REGAINED brings new energy to the poem by isolating Milton's deft mining of the scriptures beyond the Gospels as he draws broadly and deeply upon the 1534 Tyndale Bible, the 1539 Coverdale Bible, the 1540 Great Bible, the 1560 Geneva Bible, the 1568 Bishops Bible, the 1610 Douay-Rheims Bible, and the revised 1612 Authorized Version of the Bible. In an illuminating and scholarly introduction to the poem, Stallard contends that the key question that ties together PARADISE REGAINED and PARADISE LOST is "who has the right to be called a Son of God?" By presenting the poem alongside hundreds of Renaissance Biblical notes, Stallard conveys the full breadth of the poem's powerful significance in its historical Puritan context with this generously annotated edition for all readers.
