{"product_id":"milton-paradise-lost-9781405832786","title":"Milton: Paradise Lost","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilton's \u003cem\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the great works of literature, of any time and in any language. Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition it is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture. First published in 1968, with John Carey's \u003cem\u003eComplete Shorter Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, Alastair Fowler's \u003cem\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/em\u003e is widely acknowledged to be the most authoritative edition of this compelling work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn unprecedented amount of detailed annotation accompanies the full text of the first (1667) edition, providing a wealth of contextual information to enrich and enhance the reader's experience. Notes on composition and context are combined with a clear explication of the multitude allusions Milton called to the poem's aid. The notes also summarise and illuminate the vast body of critical attention the poem has attracted, synthesizing the ancient and the modern to provide a comprehensive account both of the poem's development and its reception. Meanwhile, Alastair Fowler's invigorating introduction surveys the whole poem and looks in detail at such matters as Milton's theology, metrical structure and, most valuably, his complex and imaginary astronomy. The result is an enduring landmark in the field of Milton scholarship and an invaluable guide for readers of all levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alastair Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Longman Annotated English Poets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.52w x 1.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781405832786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2nd Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710534946953,"sku":"9781405832786","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e9e36f56-c602-4b9f-9508-97ea5ae27395.jpg?v=1719538169","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/milton-paradise-lost-9781405832786","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
