International Milton Symposium - IMS12
17-21 June 2019, Palais Universitaire, Strasbourg
Dear Colleagues,
In 2005 in Grenoble, the rather loose ‘translations’ of Milton by Mirabeau, and the nearby Museum of the French Revolution in Vizille, led us to think about ‘Milton, rights and liberties’ as the main topic of the Symposium (IMS8). This time, since Strasbourg was the home of Martin Bucer, the German Protestant reformer, and given the special status of Alsace established by the Concordat of 1801, it is opportune for us to think about Milton's politics of religion. Another connection of Milton with Strasbourg is Gustave Doré, the famous XIXth century French illustrator of "Paradise Lost". As always with Milton symposia, paper proposals on all aspects of Milton studies are welcome.
The deadline (1 December 2018) has expired. Submissions after the deadline will be considered, as long as space is available. Please send us your 200-word paper proposals, with a short biography, at:
The conference programme has been published.
