Re: [Milton-L] Milton and Doré

I think that Professor Gavin Alexander alerted this list to the Darkness Visible site last year during the 400th-anniversary celebrations of Milton's birth . . . but thanks for reminding me of this website.

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I just came across what seems both a fun and informative website on Paradise Lost, that includes many illustrations in imaginative formats. The site is "Darkness Visible" and is hosted by Christ's College, Cambridge, and created and managed by Cambridge grad students. Looks like hours of enjoyable browsing, and the site also promises to be a useful teaching tool. Perhaps I'm just the last to know of it.

For some reason Dore is the most popular illustrator of PL, but I prefer John Martin. 

So, my question is – where can you get all of the Martin illustrations in a single book (for less than cost of a kidney)? 


Many thanks,

Dear scholars,

I have been stymied in a search for the first French translation of Paradise Lost that contains the illustrations by Gustave Doré.  When I type in a variety of combinations of likely keywords in WorldCat — “Gustave Doré” (with and without accent); “John Milton” or “Paradise Lost” or “paradise perdu”; Limit language to “French” -- I come up only with a short film. 

I am puzzled because I could easily find early French translations of Dante’s Inferno, etc., with Doré’s illustrations.

Could someone direct me to a bibliography of English works translated to French in the late 19th century (Doré’s produced his illustrations in the 1860s) where I could search for such a publication, or advise me how to find the first French translation of Paradise Lost that contains Doré’s illustrations?  

Many thanks in advance.
