Miltonian describes poetry that resembles the style of John Milton, especially in its elevated language, formal tone, long and carefully shaped sentences, and frequent allusions to the Bible, classical myth, or grand moral themes. The term is often used to suggest the stately, epic quality associated with Paradise Lost.
Example
Beneath the wheeling stars, the exiled angel stands
and, with grave voice, surveys the fallen world,
while thunder answers from the darkened deep.
