Public humanities writing at its finest

This book weaves together digestible readings of Paradise Lost and discussions of how writers and thinkers have taken interpreted Milton and recruited him into various political projects. Great writing. I'd recommend this to anyone, regardless of their interest in Milton. As someone who's only ever really skimmed the poem, this book motivated me to return to it.
