History of the Book MA Publication Celebration
Cynthia Johnston has kindly passed on the following information and members who are local to the event will, I am sure, want to attend.
"On Wednesday 7 February at 6:30pm we are holding a celebratory event here at Senate House, University of London for two of our MA students, Sophie Jones and Steve Prizeman. Edited versions of both of their MA dissertations are being published. Sophie’s work was made possible by her PG Bursary from you all at the Penguin Collectors Society. Her article ‘The Puffin Cut-Out Books: Noel Carrington and the Authors, Illustrators and Designers’ will be published in The Penguin Collector 100.
Steve’s work identifies new evidence to secure the authorship of Milton’s nephew, John Phillips in: A Satyr Against Hypocrites (1655), containing an overlooked attack upon Milton; the Montelion almanacs (1660, 1661, 1662), each containing disparaging remarks about Milton; and Don Juan Lamberto (1660–1), confirming Phillips’s authorship and revealing a hitherto unrecognized satirical attack upon Milton. Steve’s article, The High Priest of Blind Zeal: Milton, Montelion and mockery was published in Historical Research in November 2023.
It would be really lovely to see you there!"
