[Milton-L] RE: Kerrigan, Rumrich, Fallon Edition

[Jordan, Matthew]

Dear All

As far as I can make out the above edition of the Complete Poems and Essential Prose is not yet published in the UK; nor have I found evidence of plans so to do. Or am I being a bit obtuse? Can anyone enlighten me?

Best

Matt Jordan

Subject: [Milton-L] arguments
 
The arguments were added to the fourth (1668), fifth (1669), and  
sixth (1669) title page issues of the first edition of PL. There are,  
of course, ten books and thus ten arguments. The printer Samuel  
Simmons apparently requested them. Added also were "The Verse" and  
"The Errata." In the fourth and fifth issues there is also a note  
from the Printer to the Reader explaining the additions; it does not  
appear with the sixth issue. For the second edition (1674) the  
arguments for books 7 and 10 were split in two because those books  
were split in two: 7 = 7-8;  (8 = 9) and 9 = 10); 10 = 11-12.
