Podcast: Anna Beer on Milton
February 28, 2008
Anna Beer has a 23 minute podcast at the Guardian Unlimited in which she “discusses the times in which he lived, the impact of his relationships with friends and family, the work for which we know and revere him, and the power and passion of Paradise Lost’s Satan, perhaps his greatest creation.”
Anna Beer is the author of Milton: Poet, Pamphleteer and Patriot. [Thanks to Paul Miller on Milton-L]
