Paradise Lost and Found

The Inner Temple’s intriguing purchase of an early (1688) edition of Paradise Lost formerly owned by the Royal Master of Revels, Charles Killigrew (1655 – 1725), and annotated with the names of numerous members of the Inn, including the names of four English Dukes with stage directions, indicates that John Milton’s great work was once performed at the Inn.

On 29 October, the Inn will host a symposium with Professor Joe Moshenka and Dr William Poole of Oxford University in conversation with our current Master of Revels, Dr Tom Kinninmont. They will explore the life of John Milton and the significance of Paradise Lost throughout the ages, including the special importance of the 1688 fourth — and first illustrated — edition
