Milton Society of America records, 1942-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37137148

Description: Records of the Milton Society of America, officially organized in 1948 to promote the advancement of scholarship on John Milton and his works. A nearly complete sequence of annual dinner and meeting programs, as well as the Milton Evening booklets which preceded them, document the society's main function, which was to bring together and honor scholars in the field. The correspondence primarily relates to the planning of the dinner and the gathering of Milton-related works for the society's library. The annual James Holly Hanford Award for best book and for best article related to Milton is an ongoing function of the society for which it receives submissions. The collection also includes the "Seventeenth Century News," the official organ of the Milton Society of America, from 1942-1988 with only occasional missing issues. This publication highlights recent Milton scholarship and also includes "The Neo-Latin News" beginning in 1954. Finding aid available in the Archives.
