About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Librivox recording of MIlton: a Poem by William Blake. Read by Brian Russell Graham and Ernst Schnell Milton: a Poem is an epic poem by William Blake, written and illustrated between 1804 and 1810. Its hero is John Milton, who returns from heaven and unites with Blake to explore the relationship between living writers and their predecessors. While on earth, Milton also unites with his feminine aspect, Ololon. The poem describes progress toward the apocalyptic union of living and dead, internal and external reality, and male and female.
