Abstract
Abstract A long-standing debate about the relationship between the poet John Milton and his nephew John Phillips has been undermined by inaccuracies in the bibliographical record and the failure of scholars to identify relevant passages in Phillips’s writings. This article brings new evidence with specific reference to A Satyr Against Hypocrites (1655), containing an overlooked attack upon Milton; the Montelion almanacs (1660, 1661, 1662), establishing that all were authored by Phillips, each containing disparaging remarks about Milton; and Don Juan Lamberto (1660–1), confirming Phillips’s authorship and revealing a hitherto unrecognized satirical attack upon Milton.
长期以来,关于诗人约翰·弥尔顿与其侄子约翰·菲利普斯之间关系的争论一直受到书目记录不准确以及学者未能识别菲利普斯作品中相关段落的影响。这篇文章带来了新的证据,特别提到了《Satyr Against Hypocrites》(1655),其中包含了对弥尔顿的一次被忽视的攻击;Montelion历书(1660,1661,1662),证明所有历书都是由菲利普斯撰写的,每一本都包含对弥尔顿的贬低;和唐璜·兰贝托(1660 - 1601),证实了菲利普斯的作者身份,揭示了迄今为止未被认识到的对弥尔顿的讽刺攻击。
