Here we have the penultimate batch of the original manuscript for Book I of Paradise Lost. I'm very tempted to get a handwritten version done or maybe even have a go myself. Although 10,000 lines is a little daunting :-)

Thanks to a potent stomach bug I've slipped behind schedule in posting this second part but it was fascinating reading the next batch of 10 pages so I'm not going to stress about it :-) The SP Books printed version of these pages has arrived and I'll put together a little show and tell on that after the next two batches have been posted. I hope to get that done over the coming week but I do have a lot of work and GSD Welfare Fund stuff to catch up on so we'll see. In the meantime feast your eyes upon these pages. I'll even refrain from idle commentary!

I know it's an impossible dream but I'd love to have a proper look up close!
