The experimental and diverse writings of John Milton's early career offer tantalizing evidence of a precocious and steadily ripening author yet there has been no volume exclusively focused on his writing of the 1620s, 1630s, and the first years of the 1640s. Young Milton seeks to fill this scholarly void.

Since his appointment as an assistant editor to the Milton Quarterly in the late 1970s, Edward Jones has been exposed to what Christopher Hill has called the `Milton Industry'. Jones has taken on the challenge of staying current while publishing in an area of Milton studies that has been largely abandoned (archival records produced by the church, state, and parish). As associate and senior editor, and since 2005, when he succeeded the founding editor of MQ, he has continued to play an integral role in publishing young and veteran scholars. His on-going archival work led to his assignment to prepare a new edition of Milton's letters of state for the Clarendon Milton and serve as the volume editor for Milton's miscellaneous writing. As a Professor of English at Oklahoma State, he has taught Milton to the curious and the dubious, served on the executive committee and as president of the Milton Society of America, and has presented his work at various forums both in the US and abroad.
