Abstract	"The governing questions of Milton and the Network of Disability, Embodiment and Care are threefold: What does reading Milton's texts - and literature generally - through the theoretical lens of disability, embodiment and care studies (DEC) reveal that was illegible before? How have Milton's visual and mobility impairments, as well as his artistic representations of human biodiversity, factored into his status as a canonical author? And what insights does bringing a DEC lens to Milton's body of work and its reception give us into literature and longstanding stereotypes about humans and their cultural and physical environments?
