First published in 1975 as part of the Cambridge Milton series, this volume brings together Milton's early religious odes, pastorals, and masques, including Ode on the morning of Christ's nativity, L'allegro, Il penseroso, Arcades, Comus, and Lycidas. Each work is given its own introduction, and is accompanied in most cases by extensive notes, commentaries, and appendices. Designed for use by the individual student, the class, and the teacher in schools, colleges, and universities, the Cambridge Milton offers a unique emphasis and approach to the poetry, which encourages individual resourcefulness in the exploration of the texts.

This work offers bibliographical descriptions of all printings of erotic fiction in English issued clandestinely during the period 1800-1930. By 'clandestine' is meant books whose publishers and printers attempt to hide their identities, usually by offering title pages whose misleading places and dates of publication may shock and amuse, but which always aim to mystify. Using internal and external evidence, an attempt is made to establish who were the printers, booksellers and publishers, English and Continental, involved in this trade. The printing families or 'groups' into which a large percentage of the material falls are classified, accompanied by illustrations which identify the main printing characteristics ('house styles') of the groups. Bibliographical descriptions follow a checklist of clandestine catalogues; these provide valuable evidence for dating, pricing and 'sales pitch' and information on items of which no copies can now be traced. The work concludes with a series of appendices which provide significant external evidence, and three indexes: of themes, titles and names. Peter Mendes' original research builds on and significantly extends the essential pioneer work of the Victorian collector and bibliographer H.S. Ashbee ('Pisanus Fraxi').
