Milton by Himself
Description
This program examines the life and times of John Milton through his major and autobiographical writings. The visuals-period art and location photography of the London and Cambridge sites associated with Milton-combined with the music of the time and Milton's own words, together trace the rise and fall of a tragic figure caught between the worlds of ancient glory and contemporary politics-a Renaissance man in the maelstrom of the Baroque.
