摘要
《失乐园》是英语文学中最伟大的一部史诗,也是英国诗人约翰.弥尔顿一生中最杰出的诗作,在欧洲文学史上占有重要的地位。它借用圣经故事用史诗的形式表现了人类最初的演变和人类历史上反复出现的变革斗争,全书共十二卷,描述了撒旦反抗上帝战败后设计复仇,偷入上帝制造的伊甸园,引诱夏娃偷食禁果,以致人类始祖被逐出伊甸乐园,开始沉沦的故事。诗篇大量运用圣经人物意象,将撒旦和亚当、夏娃刻画得栩栩如生,从而也将主题表现得淋漓尽致。《失乐园》艺术地反映了在宗教旗帜下进行的17世纪英国资产阶级革命进程,热情地讴歌了革命思想。这部洋溢着资产阶级革命战斗豪情的史诗,不仅是英国资产阶级革命的一曲赞歌,也是17世纪欧洲诗坛的坚实基石。
