Video Description
`Paradise Lost, the Life and Times of John Milton' covers not only the life of this supreme poet, but also one of the most enthralling periods of British history.
Milton lived to see England torn apart by civil war. London, his capital city, was ravaged by the greatest plague since the Black Death, and was then destroyed by fire. This was the crucible from which Paradise Lost was created, and the program investigates not only the poem itself and its structure, but also what its true meaning was for Milton in the political and religious terms of the day.
