Ⅱ. Paradise Lost 《失乐园》 Milton followed up Paradise Lost with its sequel, Paradise Regained《复乐园》 , published alongside the tragedy Samson Agonistes, in 1671. Both these works also resonate with Milton’s post-Restoration political situation. Just before his death in 1674, Milton supervised a second edition of Paradise Lost, accompanied by an explanation of why the poem rhymes not and prefatory verses by Marvell. Milton republished his 1645 Poems in 1673, as well a collection of his letters and the Latin prolusions from his Cambridge days. A 1668 edition of Paradise Lost, reported to have been Miltons personal copy, is now housed in the archives of the University of Western Ontario. Ⅱ. Paradise Lost 《失乐园》 Once Paradise Lost was published, Miltons stature as epic poet was immediately recognised. He cast a formidable shadow over English poetry in the 18th and 19th centuries; he was often judged equal or superior to all other English poets, including Shakespeare. Very early on, though, he was championed by Whigs, and decried by Tories: with the regicide Edmund Ludlow he was claimed as an early Whig, while the High Tory Anglican minister Luke Milbourne lumped Milton in with other Agents of Darkness such as John Knox, George Buchanan, Richard Baxter, Algernon Sidney and John Locke. Poetry The main literary form of the period was poetry. Besides Milton, there were 2 other groups of poets, the Metaphysical poets玄学派诗人 and the Cavalier poets骑士派诗人. ① Metaphysical poets玄学派诗人 Q：Who are the chief representatives?
