Publisher Description Professor Waldock rejects the common critical urge, at the time of this books publication in 1961, to assert that certain parts of Paradise Lost conflict with Miltons stated aim. Instead he argues that, because Milton recounts the difficult first chapters of Genesis at such length and in such imaginative detail, he disconcerts his readers. Miltons poetic power gives Adam and Eve at the moment of the Fall such human attractiveness that it is impossible to condemn them. The magnificent figure of Satan is consistently more appealing than Miltons God; and by a fatal lack of literary tact God is presented directly and quoted at length. This leads Milton into absurd literalisms and sometimes into evasiveness and self-contradiction and produces a conflict between what Milton meant to do and what the poem actually does. Professor Waldocks witty critical arguments appeal to the readers direct and unprompted response to the poetry. Details ISBN 0521091411 ISBN-13 9780521091411 Title Paradise Lost Author A.J.A.
