[Milton-L] Paradise Lost memorized by British folk

[Angelica Duran]

Dear Christy,

The website for the DVD,
http://www.paradiselostperformances.com/history.html, notes that he
committed the entire poem to memory in 1993. Perhaps you can clarify for me
about your emphasis on performance?  Many thanks.

Adios,

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,
Christy

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,
