In this meeting we'll be discussing books 3, 4, and 5 of the twelve-book 1674 version of the text.
A free online version of the text is available via the link above.
This event was partly inspired by the following Substack, which is doing a slow readalong of Paradise Lost throughout 2026 -- one book a month:
