Blair Hoxby is Professor of English at Stanford University. After graduating with an A. B. from Harvard University, he studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. He then earned his Ph.D. from Yale University. Before coming to Stanford, he was an Associate Professor of English at Yale and an Associate Professor of History and Literature at Harvard. He is the author of Mammon's Music: Literature and Economics in the Age of Milton; What Was Tragedy? Theory and the Early Modern Canon; and numerous articles on Milton, literary and cultural responses to nascent capitalism, early modern theater, and theories of tragedy.Ann Baynes Coiro is Professor of English at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. She is the author of a number of essays on a wide variety of topics, including Herrick, Jonson, Amelia Lanyer, the social connections of manuscript and print circulation, Stuart court culture, Cavalier poetry and the English revolution, and Restoration theatricality. In particular, she has published many essays on Milton's poetry. She will be the President of the Milton Society of America, 2016-17. Her first book was titled Robert Herrick's Hesperides and the Epigram Book Tradition. She has co-edited the recent Rethinking Historicism from Shakespeare to Milton (Cambridge).

Blair Hoxby and Ann Baynes Coiro's edited volume -- a leviathan in its own right -- includes a who's who of Miltonists and of scholars working more widely in the fields of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century studies, and across the disciplines of literature and history. The volume's length, its august assembly of contributors, and what must have been its considerable cost to produce ... position it as a major statement not only by the editors and their team but also by Oxford University Press. Indeed, it is hard to think of a recent book with "Restoration" in the title that can compare to Milton in the Long Restoration either in terms of substance or as an event ... The individual brilliance of the essays is not in doubt -- no mean feat for a book this capacious and wide-ranging.
