Hello! We are preparing a "some current publications" list for our fall edition, which includes a short "blurb" about each text. Feel free to comment or DM us any recently published work (articles, monographs, etc) in the field of Restoration (broadly conceived)! Thanks!

Challinor argues that the play updates Middleton’s No Wit/Help Like A Woman (1611) to reflect a more violent sexual climate. You can read it now on Project MUSE.

Also included in our new edition: @jenniechallinor reconsiders an anonymous Restoration play in her essay “‘Pox on kindred’: the Anonymous Counterfeit Bridegroom (1677) and its Middletonian Source.”

You can read the essay in our new edition, available on Project MUSE now!

In “Remaking Orinda: The Role of Manuscript Copying and Print Technology in Fabricating Katherine Philips’ Legacy,” Paul Trolander argues that Richard Marriott’s 1664 edition of Philips’ poems downplays the feminism and Neo-Platonism of earlier, more authorized editions.

In her essay “Marwood, Milton, and Monstrous Women: The Neglected Villain of The Way of the World,” Rachel Ewing suggests that Congreve draws on Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667) in his representation of Mirabell, Millamant, and Marwood. Available now in our new edition!

In her essay “‘A Spirituall Song of Submission’: The Eikon Basilike, Prayer and Poetry in a Seventeenth-Century Royalist Miscellany,” @francescadcioni looks at MS Eng 625, a manuscript copy of the Eikon Basilike at the Houghton Library. You can read it now in our new issue!

Our new issue of Restoration is now available on Project MUSE! We are having some delays with the release of the print version—thank you for your patience.

Exciting news: our next issue of Restoration (46.1) will be released on Monday via Project Muse. Stay tuned!
