Description

Book Synopsis
This authoritative edition of Milton's great epic, Paradise Lost, presents the poem in the original language (spelling and punctuation) of its 1674 publication. It thereby recovers pronunciations, sonorities, and rhythms often lost in modernized editions. Barbara K.

Trade Review
“A welcome complement to the large and growing collection of fine modernized texts of Milton’s poetry and prose currently in print.” (Studies in English Literature, Winter 2008)

"[The book] prints its notes on the same page as the text - and thus makes them easily accessible. Its readable typeface makes it the best of the old-spelling editions currently available. It scrupulously adheres to the originally published forms of the language wherever possible." (Times Literary Supplement, December 2008)
