Otherwise, however, a very good and clean copy. - Scholarly criticism of John Miltons writings has in recent decades been distinguished by a methodological prudence that separates it from other forms of literary scholarship. One critic, however, stands apart from his colleagues and has consistently offered a corrective to this prudence: Balachandra Rajan. In Milton and the Climates of Reading, Elizabeth Sauer undertakes the daunting work of bringing together a selection of Rajans essays on Milton, some hitherto unpublished, in order to chart trends and changes in Milton scholarship over the last sixty years and to consider future directions in this vital field of inquiry. This collection, which is framed by Sauers insightful introduction and an eloquent afterword by Joseph Wittreich, demonstrates Rajans critical range and his ability to adapt to new ideas, always reformulating them in his own characteristic and individual manner. Milton and the Climates of Reading offers timely statements about the ways in which Miltons writings not only addressed their own time, but also ¿peak profoundly and powerfully to ours. balachandra rajan is a professor emeritus in the Department of English at the University of Western Ontario.
