This volume consists of fourteen original essays that showcase the
latest thinking about John Milton's emergence as a popular and
canonical author. Contributors consider how Milton positioned
himself in relation to the book trade, contemporaneous thinkers,
and intellectual movements, as well as how his works have been
positioned since their first publication. The individual chapters
assess Milton's reception by exploring how his authorial persona
was shaped by the modes of writing in which he chose to express
himself, the material forms in which his works circulated, and the
ways in which his texts were re-appropriated by later writers. The
Milton that emerges is one who actively fashioned his reputation by
carefully selecting his modes of writing, his language of
composition, and the stationers with whom he collaborated.
Throughout the volume, contributors also demonstrate the profound
impact Milton and his works have had on the careers of a variety of
agents, from publishers, booksellers, and fellow writers to
colonizers in Mexico and South America.
