The Best of John Milton
2008 is the 400th anniversary of John Milton’s birth. Until the Twentieth Century, he was accepted as the second greatest poet in the English language, eclipsed only by Shakespeare. Today he is seldom read despite his influence on JRR Tolkien, Phillip Pullman and even J K Rowling. Actor Lance Pierson aims to restore his reputation by performing Book 9 of Paradise Lost-the fall of Adam and Eve. One of the highest peaks of English literature.
