This edition presents the text of Paradise Lost Books 1 and 2 followed by detailed notes. The Approaches section offers commentary and activities on key themes within the text, including its political context and its under-pinning religious ideas. Milton's poetic techniques and his treatments of the verse as an epic are also explored.

`I think Dr Baldwin's edition is superb - far and away the best available!' David Wheeler, Senior A Level examiner, The Queen Elizabeth Royal Free Grammar School
