Paradise Lost Bk 9: the Story of Adam and Eve.(1688)

This serial picture provides the dramatic sequence in the relations of Adam and Eve which was distilled in our script for "John Milton's Drama of Paradise Lost" (published by Peter Lang). The Miltonic relationship matches effects in Shakespeare plays such as Romeo and Juliet and comic ones in Dryden's Marriage à la Mode. An engraving by Michael Burgesse after John Baptist Medina.
