Since the publication of John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost in 1667, readers and critics have noted the relationship between the poem and the author's political and personal struggles. What has been less prominent - at least until now - is how the poem came to haunt various political struggles over the next four centuries. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Orlando Reade about his book What in Me Is Dark, which looks at twelve readers - including Malcolm X, Thomas Jefferson, George Eliot, and Hannah Arendt - to see how Paradise Lost was understood and used by people immersed in their own revolutionary battles against tyranny and oppression. PLUS author Jodi Picoult (By Any Other Name) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.
