Whew! Two notes- fantasyfan notes that The Rhetoric of Fiction is expensive in ebook. In the U.S. it's $15 on Kindle - not the cheapest but doable for me, and it sounds very interesting. In PB though it starts at less than $4 on Amazon. Second, I just want to point out that A Preface to Paradise Lost only partly concerns its title; this is from Goodreads reviewer M.G. Bianco:
Quote:
C.S. Lewis writes what may be a very poorly titled book in A Preface to Paradise Lost.
Certainly, the last half of the book, or so, is a book about how to enjoy and understand John Milton's Paradise Lost. The first half of the book, however, is a book about epic poetry. Lewis makes some very poignant observations about epic poetry in general and about The Iliad, The Odyssey, Beowulf, and the Aeneid specifically, in addition to Paradise Lost.
