The Development of Milton’s Thought
by John T. Shawcross

In the Anteroom of Divinity focuses on the persistence of Pseudo-Dionysian angelology in England’s early modern period. Beginning with a discussion of John Colet’s commentary on Dionysisus’s twin hierarchies, Feisal G. Mohamed explores the significance of the Dionysian tradition to the conformism debate of the 1590s through works by Richard Hooker and Edmund Spenser. He then turns to John Donne and John Milton to shed light on their constructions of godly poetics, politics and devotion, and provides the most extensive study of Milton’s angelology in more than fifty years.

With new philosophical, theological, and literary insights, this work offers a contribution to intellectual history and the history of religion in critical moments of the English Reformation.

University of Toronto Quarterly
Acclaimed as one of the finest journals focused on the humanities, University of Toronto Quarterly is filled with serious, probing, and vigorously researched articles spanning a wide range of subjects in the humanities. Often the best insights in one field of knowledge come through cross-fertilization, where authors can apply another discipline’s ideas, concepts, and paradigms to their own disciplines. UTQ is not a journal where one philosopher speaks to another, but a place where a philosopher can speak to specialists and general readers in many other fields. This interdisciplinary approach provides a depth and quality to the journal that attracts both general readers and specialists from across the humanities.

Discover Canada’s best-kept literary secret!
Since 1936, University of Toronto Quarterly has devoted an entire issue to Letters in Canada. This annual winter issue of UTQ offers probing evaluations of work by Canadian scholars and by international scholars on Canadian issues. Not restricted by language, reviews include coverage of the year’s creative work by both established and emerging writers in poetry, fiction, drama, and translation, in both English and French. In recent years, the Letters in Canada issue has encompassed over 650 pages and featured the work of more than 200 reviewers, whose informed and thoughtful reviews provide an extensive record of current research in the humanities in Canada. The coverage is complemented with notice of work published internationally on Canadian literature, history, politics, culture, and the arts.

I just wanted to let you know that a new on-line journal is now available, Latch: A Journal for the Study of Literary Artifact in Theory, Culture, or History, that features three articles related to Milton studies, accesssible at www.openlatch.com.  One of the pieces is my own article, “Yesterday’s Eve and Her Electric Avatar: Villiers’s Debt to Milton’s Paradise Lost.”  The others include William Engel’s “John Milton’s Recourse to Old English: A Case-Study in Renaissance Lexicography,” and William Silverman’s “Paradise Lost and the Cultural Genetics of Shame, Remorse, and Guilt.”
