Milton! thou shouldst be living in these media

David Currell, Islam Issa

pp. 1-23

Digital Milton presents new scholarship on John Milton using digital methods and on his reception in digital media. The digital age presents major challenges as well as opportunities for the humanities. Miltonists have begun to address these in ways that take advantage of their particular disciplinary strengths. This critical juncture calls for a dynamic alliance of historicist, formalist, and computational kinds of scholarship under the aegis of philology, and for imaginative textual theories and editorial practices. The introduction moves from a historical review of precedent scholarly inquiries and initiatives to the presentation of the interdisciplinary relevance of this collection to Milton studies, early modern studies more broadly, textual studies, media history, multimedia theory, digital editing, online curation, reception studies, and the teaching of literature.
