I've never managed to get through Paradise Lost, though I've tried several times. That "English Heroic Verse" tends to go round and round in my head and make me dizzy after a few pages. I will try Pullman's method of reading it aloud.

Thank you SO much for pointing to Pullman's essay. It's brilliant. Some fascinating illustrations too. I only knew Blake's and Doré's. I see A Project coming up...
