    Thank you! What a lovely sober, grounded story, a wonderful antidote to the madness that embraces our country (GB) at the moment (summer 2022). There is nothing like Milton's language. I love the way the film included so much of it.

    Thanks for this series. I find myself intrigued by the lives of writers I never would have imagined.

    I am a John Milton scholar. I am a historian. I wrote an essay on "Samson Agonistes", "Paradise Lost", "The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates". I did a very good read in graduate school with Martin Dezelzainis and company. Quentin Skinner was a powerful scholar. It is too difficult for kids. They don't teach all this to kids. It takes a mastery of political science and history to read John Milton's English Republicanism. You should read Niall Ferguson and Simon Schama first. Then read Milton. You'll have to pick up what Quintin Skinner and Martin Dzelzainis are talking about in "Milton And Republicanism" Armitage, Himy and Skinner.

      I am about to begin reading Milton for the first time and I am wondering if you can tell me which copy I should choose and why between “The Complete English Poems” by Everyman Library and “The Complete Poetry And Essentially Prose” by Modern Library. The Modern Library is more expensive and I’m wondering if you feel it is worth the extra price for the general reader? Thanks.

    JOHN Miton, Paradise Lost. WOULD ONE CHOOSE Shakespeare or Milton? ARGUMENTS ON BOTH SIDES❤️

      No need to put one of these masters above other . . . both Milton & Shakespeare are masters in there own right!

      No one touches Shakespeare. He wasn’t from here (earth). ’But, but…’ - No!

    "Communication" by all means possible in their time. They did their best to thank Milton for representing the common man through art, music, poetry, dance, fabrics, fire, rebuilding, writing, stairing at the windows, bad lighting, day after day, surviving sickness and bad government; there's a little something of celebration (of Milton's work) for everyone, yep, it's all in there somewhere. 😅

    Rather matter of fact. I was hoping it would’ve spent a bit of time on Miltons actual work

    i'm a descent of john milton i believe. why do people think he's bad?

      He rightly spoke ill of the Catholic church. To my knowledge that's the only reason why he's controversial.

    There were 3 paradises lost.
    The 1st one was when the angels rebelled and fell;
    The 2nd one was when Adam and Eve were driven out;
    The 3rd one was when Jesus doubted: Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me.
