Synopsis:

Appearing in tandem with the first publication of an authoritative text of the 1667 first edition of John Miltons Paradise Lost, these insightful essays by ten Miltonists establish the significant differences in the text, context, and effect of the first edition of Paradise Lost from those of the now-standard second edition of 1674. This book represents the first and only collection of original essays on the subject of the 1667 edition of Miltons major epic. The essays gathered here encompass a wide range of interest, extending from matters of text to matters of historical and literary context. These scholars also discuss the epics relationship to the literary and theological world it entered in 1667, which has been overlooked as readers have examined only the second edition. Order this volume separately or with its companion volume, "Paradise Lost: A Poem Written in Ten Books": An Authoritative Text of the 1667 First Edition.
