On this episode we speak to Orlando Reade about What in Me is Dark; his exploration of the radical life of Paradise Lost. Within it, the author considers the relationship between the poem and some of the writers and revolutionaries who have drawn inspiration from it over the centuries since its writing. From Mary Shelley to Malcolm X the influence of Milton’s epic is as far reaching as the poet hoped it to be, but in intriguingly contradictory ways. What in Me Is Dark is an accessible and dynamic reappraisal of Paradise Lost which opens up the poem’s central themes of freedom and consequence both for first time readers of Milton’s work and those who know it well.
'If we ever needed a lesson about the challenges of freedom it is now.'
Lyndsey Stonebridge, author of 'We Are Free To Change The World.'
'Wonderfully written, intelligent and moving.'
Leah Redmond Chang, author of 'Young Queens.'
'Orlando Reade writes with exhilarating style, luminous clarity and irreverent wit.'
Anna Della Subin, author of 'Accidental Gods.'
