A truly remarkable edition of John Milton's Poetical Works! The fact that it was published in 1884 and illustrated by Gustave Dore makes it even more special.

"Paradise Lost" is considered one of the greatest epic poems in English literature. It delves into the biblical tale of the Fall of Man, exploring the temptation of Adam and Eve by Satan and their subsequent banishment from the Garden of Eden. Milton's use of blank verse, a form of poetry without rhyme, adds a unique and captivating element to the poem.

The measurements of the book, 13 3/8" x 10 3/8"W, indicate its substantial size and presence. The secure, square spine and intact pages further contribute to its overall quality. Despite its age, the book seems to be in good condition, with only mild shelf wear, bumped edges and paper yellowing.

Owning such a rare and beautifully illustrated edition of Milton's Poetical Works is a true treasure. It not only allows you to immerse yourself in the timeless words of John Milton but also provides an opportunity to appreciate the artistry of Gustave Dore.
