In this, the first introductory volume of the Cambridge Milton for
Schools and Colleges, Professor Broadbent, the general editor of
the series, presents background and introductory material essential
to students for a proper understanding of Paradise Lost. Chapters
on mythology, the epic, the writing, publication and subsequent
editing of PL and on Milton's ideology and world-view, provide the
background to the poem as a whole. The second half of the book
engages with the poetry at a more detailed level and examines
themes, structures, allusion, language, syntax, rhetoric, similes,
rhythm and style, always showing the reader how he can best
understand and appreciate Milton's usage. Extensive quotation from
PL and other works by Milton and others helps to make all clear.
