Description
Paradise Lost remains as challenging and relevant today as it was in its turbulent intellectual and political context. This edition brings the poem to life for modern readers, with a newly edited text of the 1674 edition, carefully modernized spelling and punctuation, and extensive annotations that clarify Milton's syntax and poetics.
The introduction by David Kastan provides a lively exploration of the central interpretative issues raised by the poem, demonstrating how thoroughly it engaged the most vital issues of its time, and revealing their continued relevance today. This edition also includes an essay on the text, a chronology of major events in Milton's life, and a selected bibliography.
For readers seeking to engage with one of the most important works of English literature, this edition provides a valuable resource for understanding the poem's enduring themes and allusions.
