The Second Part of the Countess of Montgomery’s Urania

Roberts, who died suddenly in 1995, began this project through an NEH grant in 1991. Gossett and Mueller picked up the process after Part I had already been published and Part II was almost fully edited and indexed. They provide a detailed textual and critical introduction to the piece, using many of Roberts’ own notes and published articles, and have added to the commentary and notes that follow the text. Thorough indices of characters, places, and poems in Part II add value to this text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
