A review by jennykeery
A Preface to Paradise Lost by C.S. Lewis

3.0

Lewis' very orthodox Christian reading of 'Paradise Lost' that focuses on what Lewis believes Milton would have meant, rather than the supposedly incidental sympathy with the Devil and portrayal of God as a tyrant. I found this book very interesting, though it was quite limited to literal interpretations. The discussions of the tradition of epic poetry were also interesting and useful.
