This vintage copy of John Milton’s masterpiece “Paradise Lost,” along with his other renowned works “Samson Agonistes” and “Lycidas,” offers a unique opportunity for collectors and lovers of classic literature.

The poem’s exploration of themes such as free will, obedience, and the nature of good and evil has made it a cornerstone of Western literature. “Samson Agonistes,” a tragic drama inspired by the biblical story of Samson, showcases Milton’s mastery of poetic form and his profound understanding of human nature. “Lycidas,” a pastoral elegy mourning the death of a friend, is widely regarded as one of the greatest poems in the English language. Despite the wear and tear evident in this particular copy, the text remains legible, allowing readers to immerse themselves in Milton’s timeless works. This volume is a testament to the enduring power of literature and a fascinating artifact for collectors interested in the history of printing and book production.
