It's John Milton's birthday! We are lucky to look after a copy of the original issue of his 'Lycidas' (part of a 1638 collection of poems marking the death of Edward King), with corrections & additions in Milton's own hand. Find out more on our Digital Library. cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PR-ADV-...

I’ve been wondering why so many people in my classes struggle with discussions about COVID-19 versus academics who are eager to discuss it and link it to literature being studies. I have a feeling that the pandemic hitting during our formative years has made discussions around it somewhat traumatic?

The point is that at university you're meant to be taught by researchers. It's higher education because it's not just a static body of knowledge; researchers are the people who can teach you to make new knowledge yourself
King's vice-chancellor: "It’s not that we are going broke teaching our students,it's that we are going broke fulfilling our mission of doing research and doing research-led and research-informed teaching."
