A review of the new Oxford University Press edition of Milton containing Milton's English regicide tracts and other republican writings. Each text comprises a headnote with information about its dating, publication and collations and copy-text, and is edited from newly examined and collated copies of the first or subsequent editions, or from the manuscript record.

All the primary and secondary sources have been meticulously researched; annotations on the texts are included as endnotes, and extensive commentaries form a one-hundred-and-twenty-nine-page general introduction. In summarizing recent scholarship and referring to major publications and alternative opinions in the notes, the introduction makes for a monograph of its own.

The first part, 'The 1649 Writings', is written by Nicholas McDowell, the second, 'The Later Writings', by N. H.

Keeble.
