Books in the The Complete Works of John Milton series

Volume VIII in Oxford's Complete Works of John Milton provides a ground-breaking new edition of his longest work, De Doctrina Christiana. It aims above all at accuracy, clarity, and completeness, presenting Latin and English on facing pages, amplifying the Biblical citations, and including extensive annotations.

Volume III of Milton's Complete Works contains all of Milton's shorter poems, including his Mask. Introductions address the poems' historical context, features, and the contemporary printed books and manuscripts in which they appeared. Commentaries provide word definitions and identify biblical, classical, historical, and geographical allusions.

This is the first edition to collect Milton's non-poetic manuscript writings, and the first edition of Milton's Commonplace Book manuscript to provide both the original text and a full translation and commentary. It is an essential resource for any scholar interested in the development of Milton's thought as assisted by or reflected in his reading.

Volume VI of Oxford's Complete Works of John Milton provides a definitive edition of the English prose that Milton wrote on the political issues that exercised him throughout his life.
