John Milton's Paradise Lost, in Plain English
John Milton's Paradise Lost, in Plain English: A Simple, Line by Line Translation of the Complicated Masterpiece | John Milton, Joseph Lanzara
1 post
John Milton's overwhelming masterpiece, "Paradise Lost" is transformed into simple, everyday language. Milton's poem is on each left-hand page, and the Plain English version is across from it. Corresponding numbered lines make for easy comparison.

Using this with my son to accompany Paradise Lost in our #homeschool. Just wanted to show what it looks like!

The modern English seems a bit simplistic when you also look at the original. But if my kids don‘t enjoy the harder literature, I want it to be because they don‘t like the story vs. because they barely floated thru it/didn‘t understand what the authors were saying. My son is a super reluctant reader, so these tools work well for us!!

Texreader This is awesome. I would have loved this sort of thing when I had to read Paradise Lost. 4y
