Cheap and well done
14 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A heafty volume for a thrifty price. Good binding, clean & easy to read font and enough room in the margins for notes if you are a student. A great side item if you get the Dore' engravings of Paradise Lost [which are just quotes from the book and not the whole poem] and want to read more than just the famous lines.
Unabriged and yet small enough to get away with lugging around.

From the Publisher
12 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
"'From almost the moment of its publication in 1667, Paradise Lost was considered a classic. It is difficult now to appreciate both how audacious an undertaking it represents, and how astonishing its immediate and continued success was. Over the course of twelve books Milton wrote an epic poem that would ''justify the ways of God to men,'' a mission that required a complex drama whose source is both historical and deeply personal. The struggle for ascendancy between God and Satan is played out across hell, heaven, and earth but the consequences of the Fall are all too humanly tragic--pride, ambition, and aspiration the motivating forces.' In this new edition derived from their Oxford Authors text, Stephen Orgel and Jonathan Goldberg discuss the complexity of Milton's poem in a new introduction, and on-page notes explain its language and allusions."

Paradise Lost is English heroic verse of the first order: pure, inspiring, instructive.
