MILTON ON MY MIND

About the Book

MILTON ON MY MIND is a series of reflections on PARADISE LOST by poet and Milton specialist Dr. Ida Fasel, compiled over the last fifty years of her life. At age 100, Dr. Fasel began this labor of love, assembling her many essays and poems on the themes in PARADISE LOST, hoping to shed a brighter light on a magnificent but sometimes difficult epic poem for students of English literature. It is her ardent desire that future readers of PARADISE LOST will find this book to be a helpful and inspiring companion to Milton's exquisite literary account of Creation and the Fall of Adam and Eve.
