Reade's enthusiasm and curiosity are winning' GUARDIAN Summoned in Haiti's struggle against colonial rule, read in prison by the young Malcolm X, and reimagined by Virginia Woolf Orlando Reade shows the many different, surprising, and often contradictory ways in which Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost has been read across centuries and continents. Boldly original, lively, and far-reaching, What in Me is Dark is the story of how a work of literature born in the ashes of a failed revolution became an indelible part of the modern imagination.
