'Author chronologies serve as essential works of rapid reference but they are also valuable reminders that historical events unfold in time. This volume...a painstaking compliation prefaced by details of the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the law courts, fulfils that double vocation. Its juxtapositions and constrasts are fascinating.' - Barry Collett, University of Melbourne 'Campbell's command of the subject is as immense as his scholarly generosity; this is an essential library purchase, and an indispensable contribution to anyone approaching Milton historically.' - The Year's Work in English Studies
