Praise for John Milton Prose This excellent selection is what I have always - photo 1

Praise forJohn Milton: Prose

This excellent selection is what I have always wanted for my students: un-modernized texts very well edited and contextualized. Miltons seering radicalism, the extraordinary controlled freedom of his rhetoric, the engagement with the great issues of Englands revolution, but also with universal themes of God, Humankind, liberty, accountability, are made accessible as never before.

John Morrill, Professor of British and Irish History, Cambridge University

David Loewensteins scrupulous edition offers a remarkably generous range of Miltons prose works on religion, politics, and domestic issues. The Prefatory Notes to each work are a model of clarity and concision, and annotations are precise and informative. The volume will be a wonderful resource for Milton scholars, teachers, and students alike.

Laura Knoppers, Editor, Milton Studies

Richly annotated and with a fine, purposeful introduction, this wholly new edition makes available ten major prose works by Milton in their entirety, together with generous selections from Miltons other tracts. No other edition allows the reader to appreciate so fully Miltons original engagement with concepts of political, religious, and domestic liberty. It is the best edition for teaching purposes and the general reader. Scholars too will appreciate the wealth of fresh annotations.

Thomas N. Corns, University of Wales, Bangor

This is the most ambitious one-volume edition of Miltons prose to date, one that both invites the general reader who is curious about the author of Paradise Lost, and that also satisfies the needs of classrooms. Readers will have at their fingertips works from across Miltons writing career, with its wide range of occasions and styles. We see the scrappy polemicist, the rhetorically powerful tyrannicide, the critic and participant in religious reform, a Milton who was always daring, witty and engaged. With crisp prefatory introductions to each work, helpful annotations, and a generous introduction to the whole, there is no better guide to Miltons prose treasures than this one. I will be eager to assign this to students.

Sharon Achinstein, University of Oxford

Note on This Edition This is an original spelling edition of Miltons prose - photo 3
Note on This Edition

This is an original spelling edition of Miltons prose (except, of course, for translations of Miltons Latin texts). It is intended for a broad readership: students, teachers, scholars, and general readers. I have prepared fresh annotations for all the texts; however, because of the need to keep this large one-volume edition from becoming too big, I have not provided annotations (except for several contemporary names) to the substantial selections from Miltons theological treatise, De Doctrina Christiana. I have aimed to keep the annotations concise but full, so that readers of Miltons prose can get as much as possible from the old-spelling texts. I have also followed the original punctuation.

In preparing this edition, I have followed the chosen copy-texts closely. In cases where there are clearly typographical errors in the original, I have made emendations without noting them. Biblical citations in the annotations are from the Authorized (King James) Version.
