Description
'Paradise Lost is the result, and the poem suggests that the problem and its solution lie with the individual, in individual struggle and choice.' Peter Weston's critique of Milton's great poem opens with discussion of his epic style, the chronological structure of the poem, its locations and contemporary context. The main body of his study consists of a commentary on the poem as it unfolds day by day, providing a full and illuminating analysis of its language, themes and preoccupations. ISBN:9780140771954
