John Milton by John Murphy

John Milton by John Murphy

Poet John Milton, author of the epic Paradise Lost, is 400 years old today, December 9—perhaps a little ironically, given Milton’s “sect of one” Calvinism, on the feast day of Marian visionary, St. Juan Diego. Here are a couple of articles and news items in the great poet’s honor:

 Tom Vitale has an audio NPR report: John Milton, 400 Years of ‘Justifying God’s Ways to Man

Christ’s College, Cambridge (Milton’s alma mater) celebrations site.

The New York Public Library Exhibition, and the New York Times’ very cool little slideshow about it.
