Roy Flannagan

Founding Editor of Milton Quarterly and Editor from 1966 until 2003, when I turned the chores over to Edward Jones, longtime Associate Editor.  My Macmillan Paradise Lost won the Irene Samuel Award of the Milton Society of America, and it was followed by the Houghton Mifflin Riverside Milton.  Milton should not be held against me, since I taught Shakespeare Tragedies, Comedies, or Histories every year I was at Ohio University, published occasional little things, contributed to several books on teaching Shakespeare, and I know David Bevington (we were at UVa together) well enough to smile knowingly at him about producing a single-editor edition of a major poet.  Nowadays I am a practicing church historian, a newspaper essayist, a photographer who has done one-man shows, and a screenplay writer with two completed scripts looking for a director.
