in 1667, John Milton sold the copyright to Paradise Lost for a 10 pounds in 1667. Once published, the poem was immediately hailed as a masterpiece of the English language.
"Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat"
- From "Paradise Lost"
