I read it with pleasure, for interest, and with increasing delight as I realised how useful it would be in the classroom. It is the resource I wish I had written. It puts the work into context, which is so important… I would definitely buy it. I wish I'd had access to it the first time I taught Milton – it would have made life so much easier.
