Milton's Paradise Lost 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
Complete Shorter Poems, Alastair Fowler's Paradise Lost is widely
acknowledged to be the most authoritative edition of this
compelling work. An 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.
