This paper reconsiders the 1645-1646 career of Elizabeth Attaway, known primarily to scholars as an early reader of Milton's Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce or as evidence of General Baptist congregations' openness to women's preaching. Evidence of Attaway's career survives primarily in the three parts of Thomas Edwards's 1646 Gangraena, a polemical source that distorts her career even as it provides valuable information. This paper gives an account of the apocalyptic theology that shaped Attaway's decision to "divorce" her husband. It also argues for the independence of Attaway's preaching from established congregations, highlighting her role as the instigator of perhaps the first public preaching by women in civil war London-which happened not in gathered churches, but in public, revival-style exercises. Accordingly, it establishes Attaway as a more significant figure in the religious landscape of 1640s London than previously thought.

The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Refining the Sublime: Edward Phillips, a Miltonic Education, and the Sublimity of Paradise Lost Nicholas McDowell University of ExeterABSTRACT Edward Phillips is central to our understanding of Milton's life due to his role as lead amanuensis during the composition of Paradise Lost. Yet Milton's nephew has long been considered a failed product of his uncle's educational method. This article recovers the intellectual dimension of Phillips's literary and publishing activities and their neglected place in the reception of Paradise Lost as sublime. Enduring claims that Phillips was a Cavalier renegade to Miltonic principles and inveterate plagiarist are shown to be of less interest than how he can be seen to have applied the methods in which he had been schooled.

It thus brings premodern critical race studies into conversation with a long tradition of formal analysis of Marvell’s stylistic reversals by such critics as Christopher Ricks and John Carey to produce a new reading of Marvell’s condemnation of the Fifth Monarchists and its significance for the poem’s vision of integration into the church-state under Cromwell.
