Matthew Stallard returns to trace John Milton's Biblical echoes and appropriations in Paradise Regained: The Biblically Annotated Edition, continuing what he started with the bestselling John Milton, Paradise Lost: The Biblically Annotated Edition. Milton's stunning second epic focuses upon Christ's triumph over Satan found in the New Testament synoptic gospel accounts of the temptation of Jesus in the Judean wilderness, Stallard's edition of Paradise Regained brings new energy to the poem by isolating Milton's deft mining of the scriptures beyond the Gospels as he draws broadly and deeply upon the 1534 Tyndale Bible, the 1539 Coverdale Bible, the 1540 Great Bible, the 1560 Geneva Bible, the 1568 Bishops Bible, the 1610 Douay-Rheims Bible, and the revised 1612 Authorized Version of the Bible. In an illuminating and scholarly introduction to the poem, Stallard contends that the key question that ties together Paradise Regained and Paradise Lost is "who has the right to be called a Son of God ?" By presenting the poem alongside hundreds of Renaissance Biblical notes, Stallard conveys the full breadth of the poem's powerful significance in its historical Puritan context. This generously annotated edition makes the work of John Milton, arguably the greatest poet in the English language, more accessible, enjoyable, and comprehensible for scholars, students, and the general reader.
