Hideyuki Shitaka

Byung-Eun Lee writes to inform the Milton community of another colleague:
Dear Miltonists,
I am not sure that I am a right person to write this obituary notice: Professor Hideyuki Shitaka of Hirosima Women’s Univerity, Japan, went back his eternal home on Feb. 21.
I received this sad news from Japanese scholars few days ago, and the obituary of Dr. Labriola reminds me to let you know about his death.
For those who do not know Professor Shitaka well: he was the author of “Milton’s Idea of the Son in the Shaping of Paradise Lost as a Christocentric Epic” (Eihosha, Tokyo 1996) and a committee member of Milton International Symposium. He also was a good friend of the Association of Milton and Early Modern English Studies of Korea.
As a mourner of Professor Shitaka and Dr. Labriola,
