How to Read John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Book 1.The consummate example is John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost (1660, 1674), whose 12 books I cover in 7 episodes. One season I just read long poems aloud, like Alan Ginsberg’s “Howl.”īut some of episodes are best heard in series, because they’re covering one long text. Most of the coverage is classic novels like Northanger Abbey or Don Quixote, or introductions to poets like Wordsworth and Coleridge.
