Zusatztext One of Miltons signal accomplishments is to have constructed a convincing account of his own development as a poet. ?ese essays point to the complex circumstances from which that account was extracted; they hint, tantalizingly, at paths not taken and rough places made plain. ?e result is to give us a messier, richer, and altogether more exciting picture of John Milton before he was Milton. Informationen zum Autor Since his appointment as an assistant editor to the Milton Quarterly in the late 1970s, Edward Jones has been exposed to what Christopher Hill has called the `Milton Industry'. Jones has taken on the challenge of staying current while publishing in an area of Milton studies that has been largely abandoned (archival records produced by the church, state, and parish). As associate and senior editor, and since 2005, when he succeeded the founding editor of MQ, he has continued to play an integral role in publishing young and veteran scholars. His on-going archival work led to his assignment to prepare a new edition of Milton's letters of state for the Clarendon Milton and serve as the volume editor for Milton's miscellaneous writing. As a Professor of English at Oklahoma State, he has taught Milton to the curious and the dubious, served on the executive committee and as president of the Milton Society of America, and has presented his work at various forums both in the US and abroad.

Young Milton seeks to fill this scholarly void.Winner of the Irene Samuel Award 2014 Zusammenfassung The experimental and diverse writings of John Milton's early career offer tantalizing evidence of a precocious and steadily ripening author yet there has been no volume exclusively focused on his writing of the 1620s, 1630s, and the first years of the 1640s.
