Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. Published by The Folio Society Ltd. , London, UK. 2006. 304 pgs. Illustrated in color. Fourth Printing. Issued in paper covered slipcase with color pastedown present to the front board. Slipcase lightly scuffed and worn. Bound in 1/2 green leather and orange silk moire boards with titles present to the spine. Boards lightly rubbed and worn. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid. In Paradise Lost Milton produced poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time, populated by a memorable gallery of grotesques. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked, innocent Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man. Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and in danger of execution - Paradise Lost's apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to 'justify the ways of God to men', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
