This edition aims to bring the poem as fully alive to a modern reader as it would have been to Milton’s contemporaries. It provides a newly edited text of the 1674 edition of the poemâ€"the last of Milton's lifetimeâ€"with carefully modernized spelling and punctuation. Marginal glosses define unfamiliar words, and extensive annotations at the foot of the page clarify Milton’s syntax and poetics, and explore the range of literary, biblical, and political allusions that point to his major concerns. David Kastan’s lively Introduction considers the central interpretative issues raised by the poem, demonstrating how thoroughly it engaged the most vitalâ€"and contestedâ€"issues of Milton’s time, and which reveal themselves as no less vital, and perhaps no less contested, today. The edition also includes an essay on the text, a chronology of major events in Milton’s life, and a selected bibliography, as well as the first known biography of Milton, written by Edward Phillips in 1694. Review: do not know - nothing book was not for me Review: Hackett's Kindle edition of Paradise Lost is WONDERFUL - I am VERY (VERY VERY) skeptical about Kindle editions that say that they are "annotated." I don't know how many I've returned because the "annotations" were a biographical sketch, an editor's preface, some historical notes at the beginning, a table of chronology, and links in the text that really didn't work (well or at all). I cannot believe that this edition cost less than $10.00. It is LOADED with valuable textual, historical, biblical, theological, literary notes, as well as glosses on interpretation and vocabulary (even explaining things like what "shrouds and tackle" are. Because of the way the Kindle version is paginated, it's a little hard to measure, but when I checked the first 3 books of Paradise Lost in this edition, Book 1 (33 pages of the poem) was followed by 33 pages of notes Book 2 (38 pages of the poem) was followed by 29 pages of notes Book 3 (29 pages of the poem) was followed by 30 pages of notes And, yes, the text is referenced by page numbers as well as locations. The design of this eBook even takes into account how you might use it as a student: the pages with Milton's arguments and the actual text of Paradise Lost have page number references, but when you go to the notes at the end of each chapter, the Kindle version stops counting pages. So, for example, the last line of Book 3 is found on page 77, but when you get to the notes section, all 30 pages are numbered page 77. You might not agree with this methodology (I like it), but it shows that whoever assembled this eBook actually THOUGHT about what might make it useful. It is a model for other eBooks. Because I am coming back to Paradise Lost after studying it in graduate school more than 40 years ago, I am ENTHUSIASTIC about having an eBook that helps me in this way. And I am enjoying Paradise Lost like I never enjoyed it in grad school.
