Summary: Milton frequently incorporates passages from Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians in his works, especially in De Doctrina Christiana and Paradise Lost. This is evident not just in Milton's explanations but also in his personal preference for translating certain passages. This essay argues that Milton's engagement with Pauline scripture in De Doctrina Christiana sheds light on his repeated citation of 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 in Paradise Lost. Milton's portrayal of heavenly council in the poem aligns with Paul's concept of divine mystery and imperfect understanding.

Summary: This essay examines the impact of William Carlos Williams's literary career on the West Coast, particularly through reading tours and his influence on poetry magazine editors and co-editors in Southern California. Poets such as Paul Vangelisti and Lyn Hejinian championed the work of those who absorbed Williams's influence after his death, contributing to the West Coast Poetry Renaissance throughout the last century. The diverse range of poets influenced by Williams include Charles Bukowski, Rae Armantrout, Kit Robinson, Ron Silliman, and Larry Eigner.

Summary: This article explores Milton's art in relation to the changing grammar of possibility in Early Modern English. It examines the complex modal auxiliary verbs may and can as keywords in poetic scenes of mental deliberation. Comparing Shakespearean drama, the polysemy of may contributes to psychology in Brutus's deliberation and to political conceptions. In Milton's Sonnet 8, the rise of ability-can affirms the poet's power and the potential of English. Translated epigraphs in Areopagitica define genuine liberty through the interplay of English liberty-may and meritocratic ability-can-and-will. In Paradise Regained, can and will interrogate divine agency, while might's role is questioned in Samson Agonistes.

Summary: This article explores the influence of Shakespeare's Hamlet on Milton and the relationship between tragedy and grace. It argues that Shakespeare and Luther had a profound impact on the climax of Paradise Lost, and without their influence, Milton's great work would not have the same emotional and intellectual power. The article is divided into two parts, focusing on the representation of the Fall as a tragedy and Adam and Eve's response to it.

Summary: The identification of Milton's copy of Shakespeare's First Folio was exciting for Miltonists and early modern scholars due to the work of Claire Bourne and Jason Scott-Warren. By analyzing Milton's marginal brackets and editorial emendations, this article explores the possible connections to his poetry, particularly his reading of Romeo and Juliet.
