Re: [Milton-L] Milton and Doré

[Hannibal Hamlin]

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I just came across what
seems both a fun and informative website on *Paradise Lost*, that includes
many illustrations in imaginative formats. The site is "Darkness Visible"
and is hosted by Christ's College, Cambridge, and created and managed by
Cambridge grad students. Looks like hours of enjoyable browsing, and the
site also promises to be a useful teaching tool. Perhaps I'm just the last
to know of it.
