It seems that literary scholarship has, as a general rule, been slow to make use of the incredible resource that online collaboration provides, and we are indeed overdue for a format and venue that will allow for more voices to be heard in the critical arena. I think we cannot afford to lose the important resource that annotated bibliographies provide, and that a digitized format would meet current needs. Perhaps equally important for hosting institutions, a collaborative digitized bibliography would also help create or solidify a centralized "meeting place" for scholars of a particular author (in this case, Milton), a role that is becoming increasingly more important in our rapidly technologizing age. Thank you for your thoughtful and thought-provoking article.Jayme M. Yeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335453284906312802noreply@blogger.com
