At long last, Oxford University Press today publishes Young Milton: The Emerging Author, 1620-42. Edward Jones, the editor of Milton Quarterly and sleuth responsible for dozens of new records related to Milton's life, conceived and edited the volume. Most of the essays come from the "Young Milton" conference at Worcester College, Oxford, in 2009. Although I didn't attend that conference I was fortunately able to contribute an essay on Milton's Mask (which most people know as Comus, although Milton never called it that). The book looks lovely, and it contributes to a major reassessment of Milton's early work and the mode of "authorship" that it represents. Unfortunately it is also $100.00 ... but maybe we can look forward to a paperback or digital version soon?Monday, December 31, 2012
