Title: Essential John Milton Author: John Milton Narrator: John Tydeman, JD Evans, Nicolas Soames, Anton Lesser, Samantha Bond, Derek Jacobi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 1, 2008 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: This thoughtful collection of John Milton's finest poetry marks the quatercentenary of the poet's birth in 1608. It is read by several of Britain's foremost classical actors, including Anton Lesser, Samantha Bond and Derek Jacobi. Milton's uncompromising views set him firmly on the side of Cromwell, putting his life in danger when the Stuart monarchy was restored. But he is now remembered for Paradise Lost and a strong collection of other poetry which influenced successive generations. This collection offers an ideal overview, including selections from Paradise Lost and the complete Paradise Regained, excerpts from other major works, including Comus and Samson Agonistes, as well as sonnets and famous shorter poems such as On his blindness, plus a biography of Milton.
