Legacy Edition (Clothbound Hardcover) with 50 Classic Illustrations by Gustave Dore
by John Milton
Many beautiful versions of Paradise Lost have been produced since its publication in 1667. However, most of these beautiful editions are out of print and few heirloom-quality editions exist today.
The famed illustrator Gustave Doré produced fifty engraved plates in 1866 which became the definitive illustrations of Milton's epic and are reproduced in this volume. The spelling in this book has been lightly updated in cases where it would confuse modern readers. Explanatory notes are included in the margins for allusions to Greek mythology and obscure words. Our hope is that, as this story impacted Milton's generation, this edition will continue the legacy of this book for many generations to come.
