Book Reviews of Dore's Illustrations for "Paradise Lost" (Dover Pictorial Archives)
Book Review: " ... his proud imaginations thus displayed ..."
Summary: 5 Stars
It was by great and curious fortune, that I obtained some years ago, an aged edition of the text of Milton's incredible poem, illustrated by Gustave Dore. These illustrations are amazing. One can only ruminate on the complexity of carving such woodcuts. But, I cannot understand why Dover does not reissue the original, with the illustrations inlaid in the text. For the power of these cuts, at least in part, emanates from their placement in the text, reflecting the full intention of the artist.
Summary of Dore's Illustrations for "Paradise Lost" (Dover Pictorial Archives)

Among the events depicted: the expulsion of Satan from Heaven, Adam and Eve in Paradise, the nine-day fall of Lucifer's legions to Hell, the Creation, the temptation of Eve and the Flood.
