Editorial Review:
|
Here in one volume are the complete texts of two of the greatest epic poems in English literature, each a profound exploration of the moral problems of God's justice. They demonstrate Milton's genius for classicism and innovation, narrative and drama-and are a grand example of what Samuel Johnson called his "peculiar power to astonish."
Edited by Christopher Ricks
With a New Introduction by Dr. Susanne Woods

Reader Reviews for Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained (The Signet Classic Poetry Series):
|
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Not for Kindle
Comment: The work itself is of course brilliant- the Kindle edition is abominable. I selected this edition above other Kindle editions for the footnotes. Not only are the footnotes not included in the Kindle edition, there is also not a table of contents. As I am in the midst of book IV in my paper copy and was purchasing the Kindle edition as backup while traveling, this is unfortunate. I do not care to leaf through over 100 pages looking for my place. Poor form, Amazon, poor form.

Summary: Excellent choice
Comment: I really chose a good book to read for my english class. What is more awesome is that this book came really fast. And in excellent condition!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nicely done
Comment: Very easy to read printing of Paradise Regained, in contrast to everything else I've seen.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hard to read
Comment: Well, I am not a native english speaker, but even for an english native speaker, it's a very hard reading, due the poetry, metric and ancient words... it is a classic, beauty story, but it's better if you undertand the whole text, I cannot...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Beautiful Epic Poetry
Comment: This is not a literal portrayal of the beginning, but it is an emotional portrayal of the greatness of God, the sentiments and fragility of mankind, and the forces of evil at work. Although Adam and Eve had to leave the garden, it leaves us with the promise that God's love and our hope in Him can never be quenched. It is so beautiful and passionate that it almost seems like a lost book of the bible.
