[Milton-L] New to list - Epic Simile question/Paradise Lost

[Alice Crawford Berghof]

Just a quick note to add to a highly informative discussion that 
appears to be veering into personality clashes at times.

Homeric and Miltonic simile, as a topic, brings with it centuries of 
scholarship.  In addition, we've covered this ground many times on this 
list in the past.  It is dawning on me that the listserv's collective 
pedagogical and scholarly wisdom might create on the Milton list 
website a dynamic bibliography with commonly studied categories to 
which anyone might add entries at any point.  One advantage would be 
that we could locate important articles in journals that may not appear 
in every university library.  Another advantage would be easy recourse 
to secondary sources mentioned in previous listserv discussions.  This 
way we could begin old topics where we left off.  Does anyone have any 
interest in putting together such a bibliography or making it available 
on the Milton list website?
Warm regards,
