VU English faculty, students, and alumni were featured in a 24-hour global shared reading of the work of John Milton, produced by the Milton's Cottage Trust, on 8 November 2024 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Milton’s death. Launching at Bread Street in London, where Milton was born, and culminating at St Giles Cripplegate, where he’s buried, the Miltonathon travelled to a wide range of venues with Miltonic connections and collections en route.
VU Prof. Lauren Shohet coordinated the reading of Paradise Lost book 4. You can hear English major Frankie Frabizzio '25, recent English alum Kylie Horan '25, and Professor Shohet reading from Milton's work on Youtube.
