Milton’s epic recast for contemporary performance

Teresa Neumann adapts John Milton’s Paradise Lost into a screenplay-oriented form intended to make the epic’s central conflict and cosmic scope more accessible to general audiences. Framed for both reading and eventual performance, the book shifts a foundational work of English literature toward the visual possibilities of film, auditoriums, stadiums, schools, and churches. Its subject draws on Milton’s expansive religious epic, including its large-scale spiritual struggle and love-story dimension, while presenting the material in a contemporary format rather than as the original poem.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an accessible entry point to Paradise Lost
  • Book clubs interested in adapting or discussing classic literature
  • Performers and educators exploring dramatic presentations of Milton’s epic

Book overview

For the first time ever, John Milton's Paradise Lost has been adapted into a format any average reader can easily understand. Perfect for a book club, enjoy reading it first and then prepare to watch it performed on the big screen and in auditoriums, stadiums, schools and churches near you. You will be stunned and inspired by this timeless epic -- a story that has captured the hearts, souls and imaginations of millions for the last 350 years.

"Audiences raised on Lord of the Rings-style, wide-screen wizardry should relish Milton's cosmic scenery and spectacular battles. Besides, the whole gigantic yarn turns on a love story beyond the reach of Tolkien . . . "-- Boyd Tonkin, The Spectator, March 18, 2017

"As the world becomes increasingly globalized, expect Milton's seminal work to continue to spread far and wide. In the last 30 years, researchers [have] found that more translations of Paradise Lost have been published than in the 300 years before that."-- Ben Panko, The Smithsonian, July 20, 2017
