‘Paradise Lost’ was critically acclaimed and well-received by many famed personalities, including Samuel Johnson who states:

“[Paradise Lost shows] Milton’s peculiar power to astonish…and he seems to have been well acquainted with his own genius, and to know what it was the Nature had bestowed upon him more bountifully than upon others: the power of displaying the vast, illuminating the splendid, enforcing the awful, darkening the gloomy, and aggravating the dreadful.

Current Christian writer at the time C.S. Lewis, also interpreted Milton’s landmark poem as a ‘genuine Christian morality tale’ (Leonard)
