Abstract
My project came about as a result of a computer database of Yale’s edition of Milton’s Prose being constructed by the Brigham Young University English Department. The completion of the database has been delayed, however, and consequently I was compelled to shift the object and approach of my study. Originally, I had planned to make an analysis of the development of Milton’s religious thought over time by tracing his use of significant words. Instead, for the ORCA project I have completed a thorough reading of Milton’s prose with an attempt to formulate an informative hypothesis for why the prose was important to Milton and how it can be important for us. The report that follows is a very brief presentation in layman’s terms of my conclusions. Meanwhile, I continue to work with the English Department on the Milton database.
