Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This collection seeks to provide the definitive, scholarly edition of the entire corpus of John Milton, encompassing his poetry, political tracts, theological treatises, and historical writings. The editors, led by Thomas N. Corns and Gordon Campbell, utilize rigorous textual criticism to present these works within their original historical and intellectual contexts. By organizing the material into eleven thematic volumes, the project aims to bridge the gap between Milton's literary achievements and his radical political and religious contributions to seventeenth-century thought.
