摘　　要：Paradise Lost tells the stories of men,God and Devil in three geographical spaces:the Heaven,the Hell and the garden of Eden.By sorting out the traces of“things”in the epic,this study holds that Milton presents the readers with the lives of men,God and Devil in three different material dwellings.Combined with the“animism materialism”proposed by John Milton when he respondes to the philosophical controversy of early modern“spirit and matter”,this study observes and appreciates the daily life of the three material dwellings in Paradise Lost from new materialism criticism.Thus,Heaven,Eden and Hell in the epic are not empty imaginations of the poet,but spaces with secular things that we can recognize.Milton uses secular things and three material dwellings full of things to show his understanding of a real Paradise.
