Comments
The exhibit accompanied by this catalog was mounted to display a portion of the Wickenheiser Collection of John Milton. This collection is the Library's first major acquisition focused on any author or topic before the mid-nineteenth century. Thus, it broadens the historical range represented in the University's research collections. The breath of Milton's own interests and the international and chronological range of those who have responded to him make this a collection that will stimulate an equally broad range of research projects across a variety of disciplines.
