[Milton-L] prosody

[John Shawcross]

Dear Kemmer,

Where have you been?? Of course see John Creasor's very important  
discussion, and you should
know and been able to get Bridges and Sprott. But also you should  
read Edward Weismiller's work
(and the footnotes will give you many more leads) in the "Variorum  
Commentary" in Part 3 of Volume
2, "The Shorter Poems" (ed. A. S. P. Woodhouse and Douglas Bush), and  
Volume 4, "Paradise Regain'd"
(ed. Walter MacKellar), which also cites his article on "Samson  
Agonistes." I know you know the publications
of  Jefferson's "Library" and the "Commonplace Book" (with his  
citations from PL and SA); his copies of PL and PR precede
1786 (the Baskerville, 1758, for example, and others).

John
