First published in 1671, &quot;Paradise Regained&quot; is poet John Milton&rsquo;s sequel to his great epic poem &quot;Paradise Lost&quot; (1667).<br /><br />After one of John Milton&#39;s friends read Milton&#39;s work, &quot;Paradise Lost&quot;, he supposedly told Milton that he had said a lot about Paradise being lost, but had not yet touched on the subject of Paradise being found. The poem, &quot;Paradise Regained&quot;, is Milton&#39;s response. It is a series of debates between Christ and Satan, who tries repeatedly, over the course of the poem, to tempt Christ.
