[Milton-L] Milton defamation in this morning's NY Times

[Carol Barton]

The NY Times article Roy Flannagan cites is entirely irresponsible, 
from the sculpture it identifies as Milton ("A sculpture of John 
Milton by Arthur Kirmss"--which is clearly the head of Charles I--or 
does McGrath think Milton wore a crown?) to its characterizations of 
his relationships with his wives and daughters, etc.

It pretends to be tongue-in-cheek, and ends up just being (ignorantly) 
cheeky.

I hope someone has responded to it appropriately.

Best to all,

Carol Barton
