Milton Studies

A project of Penn State University Press (see other related projects).

About

Milton Studies is published biannually as a forum for scholarship on John Milton (1608-74), using a range of approaches and methodologies to elucidate the life and works of the influential poet and polemicist. Essays submitted for publication may focus on any aspect of Milton’s life and writing, including biography; literary history; Milton’s work in its literary, intellectual, political, or cultural contexts; Milton’s influence on or relationship to other writers; or the history of critical and creative response to his work. Target audience includes graduate students and literary scholars who specialize in Milton or in early modern (Renaissance) literature, as well as (secondarily) historians and literary historians of early modern religion, politics, and cultural history.
