Críticas:

'This excellent collection illuminates the role of Milton studies in establishing in Canada an intellectual and cultural foundation upon which further achievements of many kinds could be built, and, by looking back, points ahead.' -- Kenneth J. E. Graham Modern Philology vol 112:01:2014 'Feisal Mohamed & Mary Nyquist have assembled a remarkable collection of eighteen essays and an afterword from Canadian Miltonists past and present a juxtaposition that raises vital questions about critical historiography.' -- Thomas Fulton Renaissance Quarterly vol 68:01:2015

Reseña del editor:

Milton and Questions of History considers the contribution of several classic studies of Milton written by Canadians in the twentieth century. It contemplates whether these might be termed a coherent 'school' of Milton studies in Canada and it explores how these concerns might intervene in current critical and scholarly debates on Milton and, more broadly, on historicist criticism in its relationship to renewed interest in literary form. The volume opens with a selection of seminal articles by noted scholars including Northrop Frye, Hugh McCallum, Douglas Bush, Ernest Sirluck, and A.S.P. Woodhouse. Subsequent essays engage and contextualize these works while incorporating fresh intellectual concerns. The Introduction and Afterword frame the contents so that they constitute a dialogue between past and present critical studies of Milton by Canadian scholars.
