Welcome
to the John Milton 400th Anniversary Celebrations organised by Christ's
College, Cambridge. A former student of the College, Milton is one of the most brilliant and
influential English poets. But he is of great importance as a
political and religious thinker too, and was an intellectually dominant
figure in one of the most turbulent periods in this country's history.
Our programme of events during 2008 aimed to span the full range of his
achievements. Through public lectures, concerts, readings, performances,
and exhibitions we celebrated Milton's genius and drew attention
to the breadth and vitality of his legacy.
