In which the resolute Samson prepares to face his captors with unwavering obedience to his vow and steadfast hope, whilst his father Manoa ardently petitions for his redemption amidst stirring omens. The tale unfolds to reveal a grand and final spectacle of strength and sacrifice that culminates in a profound deliverance wrought through great travail, leaving both lamentation and honour in its wake.

Enter a realm where verse ascends and thought contends with eternity. The John Milton Library gathers the great works of England’s sovereign poet and sets them forth in living voice - unabridged, unhurried, and aflame with the music of epic song. Here, the fallen archangel speaks, Eden blooms and breaks, and the long struggle between light and shadow unfolds in measured lines. Let the ear become the eye. In these readings, paradise is lost and sought again, liberty wrestles with power, and the human soul stands poised between ruin and redemption. Wander through celestial courts or the silent chambers of inward vision, dwell within Milton’s vast imagination and inhabit his poetry.
