A Defence of Multiple Copies: Selections from Western’s Milton and T.S. Eliot Collections
While there are many special collections within the University of Western Ontario’s Archives and Special Collections, one of the most significant is the G. William Stuart Collection of Milton and Miltoniana. Purchased by Western in 1968, and supplemented in subsequent decades, it represents the greatest collection of its kind in Canada. The collection contains all of the early and many of the later editions of the works of John Milton, including two copies of the 1645 Poems, early and later editions of the major prose works, and over a hundred editions of Paradise Lost.
