The interplay of love and death unfolds against the backdrop of time, with mirrors representing self-reflection and new perspectives. Martin skillfully balances deep existential questions with humor and wordplay, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of the human experience. His vivid imagery and emotional depth create a rich tapestry that resonates with both heart and intellect, encouraging an intimate connection with the poems.

This thought-provoking and ambitious book is a sustained critique of the conventional understanding of what it means to "explain" something in the social sciences.

Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste Brought death into the world... Sing heavenly muse' From almost the moment of its first publication in 1667, Paradise Lost was considered a classic. It is difficult now to appreciate both how audacious an undertaking it represents, and how astonishing its immediate and continued success was. Over the course of twelve books Milton wrote an epic poem that would 'justify the ways of God to men', a mission that required a complex drama whose source is both historical and deeply personal. The struggle for ascendancy between God and Satan is played out across hell, heaven, and earth but the consequences of the Fall are all too humanly tragic - pride, ambition, and aspiration the motivating forces. In this new edition derived from their acclaimed Oxford Authors text, Stephen Orgel and Jonathan Goldberg discuss the complexity of Milton's poem in a new introduction, and on-page notes explainits language and allusions.
