When I’m reading Paradise Lost, I’m appreciating it on multiple levels:
- The sonorous exhilaration of the exotic, uncanny language.
- The scale and power of the imagery.
- The vastness of Milton’s knowledge and learning.
- The degree of prophetic achievement.
- The scope of Milton’s systematic theology.
- The presumptuous task of Milton’s theodicy.
- The mystique gathered around the book and its author.
