“Milton’s Paradise Lost was first published 350 years ago. It remains the most important long poem in the English language. It came out of a time of revolutionary upheaval in Britain and is a political poem as much as a theological one. Poet Sean O’Brien discusses Milton’s adventurousness. Producers: Tim Dee and Siobhan Maguire.”
