For the book call number range for primary and secondary works exclusively by or about John Milton, see the sidebar at left.
For a shelf-browsing, call number approach, use the 2008 edition of the Library of Congress Classification for PR, PS, and PZ, located adjacent to the Library of Congress Subject Headings on the green cabinet beneath Shakespeare's portrait on the library's seventh floor. It is an extremely detailed listing and reveals the most useful supplemental call number range for books which may contain information relevant to Milton to be between PR431 and PR440. This range includes both the Puritan and Restoration eras.
