约翰·弥尔顿，英国诗人、政论家，民主斗士，英国文学史上伟大的六大诗人之一。

从古典到宗教，从抒情到史诗，约翰·弥尔顿是一位几乎能够驾驭所有诗歌类型的大师。他在早期曾写过《基督诞生晨颂》、《科玛斯》、《利西达斯》等作品；在克伦威尔去世后，弥尔顿的政治希望破灭了，于是他开始创作《失乐园》，表达出自己对于政权的深刻见解，成为一部世人皆知的名作。而他的封笔之作《力士参孙》，则将他自己的生活融入其中，创作了一部希腊悲剧形式的宏伟剧体诗。

这本The Complete Poems《约翰弥尔顿诗集》收录了《失乐园》、《复乐园》和《力士参孙》等经典名篇以及其他大量的希腊文、拉丁文诗。并由著名学者John Leonard作序以及作注释，包括拼写，大小写和标点等，可以帮助读者更好地理解内容。

"I may assert Eternal Providence
And justify the ways of God to men"
John Milton was a master of almost every type of verse, from the classical to the religious and from the lyrical to the epic. His early poems include the devotional 'On the Morning of Christ's Nativity', 'Comus', a masque, and the pastoral elegy 'Lycidas'. After Cromwell's death and the dashing of Milton's political hopes, he began composing Paradise Lost, which reflects his profound understanding of politics and power. Written when Milton was at the height of his abilities, this great masterpiece fuses the Christian with the classical in its description of the fall of Man. In Samson Agonistes, Milton's last work, the poet draws a parallel with his own life in the hero's struggle to renew his faith in God.
In this edition of the Complete Poems, John Leonard draws attention to words coined by Milton and those that have changed their meaning since his time. He also provides full notes to elucidate Biblical, classical and historical allusions and has modernized spelling, capitalization and punctuation.

约翰·弥尔顿（John Milton，1608—1674），英国诗人、思想家、政论家，民主斗士。弥尔顿是清教徒文学的代表，他一生为资产阶级民主运动而奋斗，参加宗教和政治论战，发表不少政论文，其中反对书报审查制的《论出版自由》非常有名。后因劳累过度双目失明，口述完成使他名扬后世的三部伟大著作：《失乐园》(1667)，《复乐园》(1671)和《力士参孙》(1671)。《失乐园》共12卷，取材自《圣经·旧约·创世记》，描述撒旦引诱亚当和夏娃偷尝禁果而被逐出伊甸园的故事，是弥尔顿著名的代表作，也是英国文学中一部重要的杰出史诗，与《荷马史诗》、《神曲》并称为西方三大诗歌。
