About This Item
New York: Published for the Classics Club by Walter J. Black, 1943. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some edge soiling.. xx, 386 p. 20 cm. I Illustrations, Facsimiles. On cover: Classics club library. Milton takes the traditional epic and transforms it with the clarity of his moral vision and with the power of his language, turning it into triumphant blank verse--seldom used in his day except in drama--that is moving, exciting, and full of the grandeur of Milton's poetic vision. In the early parts of "Paradise Lost", he manages to convey sympathy with Satan's heroic energy. As the epic narrative progresses, however, our allegiance shifts subtly to Christ's message of love and a vision of Paradise free of Satan's destructive strivings. Between 1700 and 1800 Paradise Lost was published over 100 times.
