Paradise Lost Illustrated, poetry by
John Milton has been compared to other illustrators including
William Blake's. According to Professor Karbiener, many students prefer Lindall's version, which appeared in
Heavy Metal Magazine and has a popular following among young people. It is generally thought that Lindall's illustrations for
Paradise Lost are the greatest of the 20th century for Milton's poem. Professor Karen Karbiener, Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature at
Columbia University, gave a lecture at the
Williamsburg Art & Historical Center in 2004 on " ...Milton's
Satan and his impact on
countercultural artistic movements from William Blake to the
Beat poets in essence, the artists "between" Milton and Lindall *
