摘　　要：60年前,一篇影响深远的短文证实,长期被认为是弥尔顿所有的一本品达诗集并不符合他的读者形象,这为确定弥尔顿关联提供了新的标准。这些标准使我们确信:正是弥尔顿评注了费城自由图书馆收藏的莎士比亚第一对开本。弥尔顿的编辑干预和页边评注揭示了他对于传达时空环境和氛围的比喻的一贯兴趣,同时也表明弥尔顿关注歌曲和类似假面剧的娱乐活动,这意味着莎士比亚影响到了弥尔顿在17世纪30年代的诗歌发展。莎士比亚的《亨利四世》四联剧也可能在弥尔顿身上产生了共鸣,因为当时正是他抛弃在英国圣公会的职业,选择成为独立诗人的时期。Sixty years ago,a short but seminal article demonstrated that a volume of Pindar’s poetry long accepted as John Milton’s did not fit his readerly profile and presented fresh criteria for determining Miltonic provenance.These criteria allow us to accept with confidence that Milton annotated the copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio held at the Philadelphia Free Library.Milton’s editorial interventions and marginal notations reveal a persistent engagement with metaphors relaying spatial,temporal,and atmospheric setting.They also indicate Milton’s attentiveness to songs and masque-like entertainments,which suggests the pertinence of Shakespeare to Milton’s poetic development during the 1630s.Shakespeare’s Henry IV tetralogy may also have a biographical resonance for Milton during that period as he avoided a career in the Church of England and instead established an independent poetic vocation.
