[Milton-L] Paradise Lost -- Parallel Prose Edition

[Dennis Danielson]

Dear Fellow Miltonists,

Picking up on Neil Forsyth's language a few weeks back about "reaching
out" and "attract[ing] people beyond the world of Miltonists," I'd like
to announce publication this month of my "parallel prose" edition of
Paradise Lost. It is intended mainly for readers who might never
otherwise tackle Milton -- those who read modern English translations of
Homer or Virgil or Dante, but are held back by the structure, syntax,
and vocabulary of Paradise Lost. My edition offers the original text of
PL on the left-hand page and a prose rendition ("translation," if you
will) of the story on the recto. More information is available at the
following web addresses:

www.amazon.com/Paradise-Lost-Parallel-John-Milton/dp/1573834262/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226326104&sr=1-1

For a look at Kirsten Behee's original cover art, which Amazon hasn't 
yet posted, please see:

Although Regent is a small publisher with limited resources, they have
agreed to my request that we supply review copies of the book to the
first 50 members of this list who request a copy. If you think you might
like to review it for some appropriate publication (or online), or
consider it for perhaps a highschool or even freshman course whose
students would find the real PL by itself (initially) too much to bite
off, please email me off-list with the following information and I'll
make sure you get a copy:

1. Your name:
2. Your street mailing address (NOT a P.O.Box, please):
3. Your contact phone #:
4. Your email address:
5. (optionally) A brief reason for your interest:

With thanks,
Dennis D
