About this book

Published as a companion to his great epic on the fall of man, Milton's shorter poem turns to the moment of redemption: Christ's forty days in the wilderness and his refusal of every temptation Satan can devise. Where Paradise Lost is vast and ornate, this is spare and taut, a contest not of armies but of wills, argued out in some of the most disciplined blank verse in English. Satan offers wealth, glory, and the kingdoms of the world; Christ answers each with quiet, unshakable reason. Austere and demanding, it rewards readers willing to follow Milton's meditation on obedience and true heroism. Free to download as a PDF or EPUB.
