Synopsis
A collection of critical essays on Milton's epic poem about the creation and the fall of Adam and Eve, arranged in chronological order.

First Sentence
This first book proposes, first in brief, the whole subject: man's disobedience and the loss thereupon of Paradise wherein he was placed; then touches the prime cause of his fall, the serpent, or rather Satan in the serpent, who, revolting from God and drawing to his side many legions of angels, was by the command of God driven out of Heaven with all his crew into the great deep.

Paradise Lost, 16 Aug 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Paradise Lost (Great Epics) (Audio CD)

Of the ommissions I missed the scenes with Raphael the most, especially given the absence of any of the scenes [other than in paraphrase] dealing with the father, the son or the angels.

On a personal note, I think it's quite disappointing that Sin was voiced by a man. It didn't really sound genuine when she describes the horrors she endures at the hands of her children coming from a male voice.

Spoilt for me by the treatment of the original text, 24 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Paradise Lost (Great Epics) (Audio CD)

Many books have been omitted which degrades the overall structure of meaning. Considering book-1 in particular there are also omissions within the book, which have a serious effect on the meaning of the poem. The delivery is often, but not always, rushed and lacking in expression, perhaps due to time constraints?
