Publisher's Synopsis
A Vindication of the Paradise Lost: From the Charge of Exculpating Cain, A Mystery is a book written by Philo-Milton in 1822. The book is a defense of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost, against the accusation that it justifies the actions of Cain, the biblical character who murdered his brother Abel. Philo-Milton argues that the poem does not condone Cain's actions, but rather portrays him as a tragic figure who is punished for his crime. The book also explores the themes of free will, redemption, and the nature of evil in Paradise Lost. Overall, A Vindication of the Paradise Lost is a scholarly examination of Milton's poem and its complex themes, and a defense of its literary and moral value.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
