Paradise Lost

From almost the moment of its publication in 1667, Paradise Lost was considered a classic. This new edition is derived from the editors' modernized Oxford Authors text, with a new introduction that discusses the poem's complexity and critical history, and on-page notes to gloss language and allusions.

Key Features:

• Well-established text taken from the same editors' edition of Milton's Major Works, previously published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series.
• Excellent new introduction that contextualizes Milton and his poem, discussing:
  • The poem's structure and language.
  • The themes of God vs. Satan.
  • A summary of critical responses to the poem since its publication.
• Convenient annotation placement: Notes are set at the foot of the page rather than at the back of the book, making them much easier to refer to.
• Modernized text for enhanced readability.
• Renowned editors: Orgel and Goldberg, widely respected scholars of long standing.
