a work of brilliant scholarship - indispensable as much for the answers it provides as for the questions it raises, authoritative in the vast material ordered in its pages, and stimulating in its salutary challenge of accepted theories. Students of Milton and his age will for long argue the merits of Mr Parker's more controversial suggestions, but they could ill afford to bypass him on any aspect of the poet's life.

Review of English Studies

Parker's life of Milton has long been accepted as one of the great literary biographies of the twentieth century, a unique accomplishment of scholarship based on a vast range of documentary evidence. Originally published in 1968, the biography was immediately acclaimed as `indispensable', `authoritative', as well as `controversial', and Parker himself was described in The Review of English Studies as `a living library and a walking museum'. Gordon Campbell's new and revised edition of Volume 1 forms a complete, self-contained, and wholly accessible account of Milton's life which remains essential reading for the student of seventeenth-century literature, and for anyone who share Parker's enthusiasm for Milton's poetry.

`what differentiates this version from the previous one is the addition of fifty pages of notes at the end of the second volume ... Some of these notes manage admirably to encapsulate in a sentence or two the essence of articles and books that appeared in the interval between the two editions as well as to offer a better context within which to view statements made by Parker. All this will ensure that the seventeenth-century scholar will continue to utilize this admirable erudite resource well into the new millennium.' M. Feingold, Journal of Religious History, Vol. 24 `The most impressive recent contribution to Milton studies is William Rileey Parker's two-volume biography (19968) now revised by Gordon Campbell.' The Guardian
