A Preface to Paradise Lost by C.S. Lewis

4.0

Illuminating and engrossing literary criticism, as well as a discerning appreciation for epic poetry. At times Lewis is opinionated, though as expected - after all, it’s his take on Paradise Lost, the last few chapters in particular. He definitely has prompted myself to read Virgil’s Aeneid, and possibly Beowulf. I would have read them earlier if it had not been their perplex language/style. Alas, at least that’s my reductive impression when it comes to epics
