[Milton-L] diagrams/illustrations of Milton's world/multiverse

[Horace Jeffery Hodges]

You might check out Terrance Lindall's illustrations and see. I don't know if he has attempted to illustrate all of Milton's cosmic and extracosmic 'entirety', but you might do some digging around and see:

  Even if you don't find what you're looking for, you'll find a lot of other illustrations for your very 'visual' students.

The trick for me, however, is that my students are so visual, and a few well-chosen pictorial aids, however imperfect, can go a long way towards orienting them in _Paradise Lost_.  That said, I¡¯ll now preface this unit with some big disclaimers.  
   
  Thanks as well to Angelica, Russell, Caroline, and Michael, for the Hughes diagram link.  Like Michael, I find it inaccurate in many respects, yet I also see ways it could be usefully problematized for class discussion.   
   
  Does anyone know if any _Paradise Lost_ illustratations do justice to the scope and complexity of his multiverse? And, are there any contemporary artists now at work who might welcome such a challenge?  
   
  Best,
