《英国文学选读》 Unit 4
Truth is compared...to a streaming fountain; if her waters flownot in a perpetual progression, they sicken inti a muddy pool or conformity and tradition.1. 作者简介约翰·弥尔顿（John Milton，1608-1674），诗人。
弥尔顿的一生和创作大约可分为三个时期：他16岁时入剑桥大学，并开始用拉丁文和英文写诗；1638-39年间，他前往欧洲旅行，并同当时被囚禁的伽利略见过面。
这一时期的主要作品是一些短诗，比较优秀的有《利西达斯》（Lycidas, 1637）等。
1639年，英国革命即将爆发，他返回英国。
随后的20多年中，他积极投身英国革命，发表了大量的散文和政论文，为英国革命和共和政府奔走呼吁，其中比较著名的有《为英国人民声辩》（Areopagitica, 1650）等。
1652年时他双目逐渐失明。
1660年王政复辟，弥尔顿被捕入狱，但很快被释放，从此开始了他第三时期的创作，先后完成了最著名的以圣经故事为题材的三部长篇诗作《失乐园》（Paradise Lost, 1667）、《复乐园》（Paradise Regained, 1671）和《力士参孙》（Samson Agonistes, 1671）。
评论家认为，弥尔顿的作品同时体现了欧洲两股最重要的文学传统：以荷马和维吉尔史诗为代表的古希腊罗马文学和文艺复兴文学，特别是他的最后一部作品《力士参孙》，描写了主人公在失明后思想、精神上的升华，则在一定程度上映照了弥尔顿自己的一生。
2. 作品提要《失乐园》提要《失乐园》是一部气势恢弘的史诗式作品。
全诗由12部诗篇组成，讲述了基督教《圣经》中撒旦化身为蛇，引诱亚当夏娃（人类的始祖）违背上帝意旨，最后失去上帝的恩宠，被逐出天堂乐园的故事。
第1部：全诗总纲，讲述了整个事件的起因和结果；第2部：撒旦与众叛逆天使讨论如何同上帝作战，夺取天堂；第3部：讲述上帝决定如何赐予人类恩惠；第4部：描述撒旦在天堂见到亚当夏娃，撒旦在夏娃的梦中施展引诱；第5部：天使警告亚当要当心恶魔的引诱；第6部：描绘天使与撒旦一伙的战斗；第7部：亚当向天使询问有关创世的许多问题，并一一得到回答；第8部：他接着又询问天体运行的问题，但对所得到的回答并不满意；第9部：撒旦化身为蛇，躺在伊甸园里，并指引亚当和夏娃摘食禁果；第10部：上帝因此震怒，亚当也后悔不已；第11部：圣子代表上帝宣布将亚当夏娃逐出天堂，并向他们指点未来；第12部：天使向他们叙述拯救之路，亚当夏娃终于离开天堂，失去了乐园。
