John Milton 
Paradise Regained 

First published in 1671, ‘Paradise Regained’ is poet John Milton’s sequel to his great epic poem ‘Paradise Lost’ (1667).



After one of John Milton’s friends read Milton’s work, ‘Paradise Lost’, he supposedly told Milton that he had said a lot about Paradise being lost, but had not yet touched on the subject of Paradise being found. The poem, ‘Paradise Regained’, is Milton’s response. It is a series of debates between Christ and Satan, who tries repeatedly, over the course of the poem, to tempt Christ.
