Join us in person or online for the launch of Milton’s Universe, when the exhibition’s curator, Vladimir Brljak, will be in conversation with Professor Mandy Green of Durham University.

The exhibition provides a new perspective on Paradise Lost through illustrations of the poem’s key cosmological scenes produced by the artist Danijel Žeželj in collaboration with the literary historian Vladimir Brljak.

Milton’s cosmology is one of the most remarkable, yet also the least explored, aspects of his work. In this exhibition, Brljak and Žeželj team up to produce new images of these scenes: artworks in their own right yet underpinned by rigorous scholarship and detailed attention to Milton’s text.

Exhibited in Milton’s Cottage, these images recapture some of the most daring reaches of Milton’s poetic vision in the very place where it came into being.
