Dear Angelica, Don't know about others, but John Basinger's piece is a performance of the poem and is available,as you probably know, on DVD.Regards,

Dear scholars,Thank you for your overwhelming responses to my request for news about marathon readings of Paradise Lost.  I have tried to answer you each individually — I think I am up to date now.I hope you can help me answer a question that has emerged from the responses: do you know of any recitations from memory of Paradise Lost by British folk or women?  I am following up on reports of memorized recitations by John Basinger (Three Rivers Community College), Harold Bloom (Yale), Douglas Pfieffer (SUNY-Stony Brook), Balachandra Rajan (U of Western Ontario), and even a spunky student in Singapore.Off-list responses much appreciated.Adios,Angelica DuranAssociate ProfessorEnglish and Comparative LiteraturePurdue University500 Oval DriveWest Lafayette, Indiana 47907USA(765) 496-3957<duran0 at purdue.edu><http://www.cla.purdue.edu/english/directory/?personid=80>
