Synopsis:
This thoughtful collection of John Miltons finest poetry marks the quartercentenary of the poets birth in 1608. It is read by two leading classical actors: Samantha Bond (perhaps most widely known as Miss Moneypenny!) and Derek Jacobi, one of the foremost British actors of his generation. Miltons 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 CD offers an ideal overview, including excerpts from the major works, including Comus and Samson Agonistes, as well as famous poems such as On his blindness.
