London: Eric Partridge Ltd at the Scholartis Press, 1932. First Edition Thus. Quarter green Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Small. N/a. 187pp. 4to. small sized. 1932. First Edition Thus. This edition, printed by H. P. R. Finberg at the Alcuin Press, Campden, Gloucestershire, is limited to six hundred copies. Original publisher's gilt embossed quarter green cloth over paper-covered boards. Over all, a very good copy. A faint and tiny ink name inscription to the head of the front endpaper. Some spotting - not heavy to the fore-edges. More notable is the spotting to the paper-covered boards and some dust soiling too. A little rubbing to the lower two board corners with slight loss of outer paper covering. Light rubbing to the cloth at the tail of the spine. A very good, clean, tight copy.
Synopsis
Paradise Regained demonstrates Milton's genius for fusing sense and sound, classicism and innovation, narrative and drama, fortifying not merely our sense of what is beautiful but what is human as well. It leaves readers with no choice but to commit themselves totally with their minds and with their hearts.
