Reading Paradise Lost
"This lucid and entirely jargon-free guide to Paradise Lost will help any reader of the poem to find their feet, and to understand what makes it the best poem in the English language. Hopkins has one, and only one, resemblance to Milton's Satan, which is that he can make intricate seem straight."
Colin Burrow, Oxford University
"This is the best introduction to Paradise Lost there is, suitable for the intelligent sixth-former or undergraduate, or the enquiring general reader outside the academy - or indeed anyone who cares about poetry. It is also a joy to read, indeed a real page-turner - and of how many academic books can one say that?"
Charles Martindale, Bristol University
Concise enough to be assimilated in a single session, this short volume maps the wonders of Milton's poetic landscape. The book offers an exploration of some of the main narrative and poetic elements of the epic poem - qualities which have compelled and fascinated readers for more than three centuries. The author, a celebrated authority on English poetry of the period, engages with (and attempts to counter) some of the critical arguments that impede readers' enjoyment of the poem. This volume emphasizes the aesthetic experience of reading Paradise Lost and brings out the pleasure to be derived from one of the great literary achievements of humanity.
