[Milton-L] dictating PL

[Stackhouse, Amy]

I seem to recall reading in one of the early biographies that it was about 30 lines per night.

I'm sure I could find this information if I were to look in the biographies, but this path seems easier.  My students asked, "about how many lines of Paradise Lost did Milton compose on a given night?"  Does anyone on the list have a ballpark answer? 

Thanks.--Margie
