Father Peter Milward, SJ (12 October 1925[1] – 16 August 2017[2]) was a Jesuit priest and literary scholar. He was emeritus professor of English Literature at Sophia University in Tokyo and a leading figure in scholarship on English Renaissance literature. He was chair of the Renaissance Institute at Sophia University from its inception in 1974 until it was closed down in 2014 and director of the Renaissance Centre from its start in 1984 until it was closed down in 2002. He primarily published on the works of William Shakespeare[3] and Gerard Manley Hopkins.

Life

Education

Born in London in 1925, Milward was educated at Wimbledon College, entering the Society of Jesus in 1943 at the age of 18. He went on to study Classics and English Literature in Heythrop College and Campion Hall, Oxford. In Oxford he made a point of attending the lectures of C. S. Lewis and the meetings of the Socratic Club. In 1954 he was sent to Japan, where he learnt the Japanese language and completed his study of Theology. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1960.

Academic career

Milward joined the Department of English Literature at Sophia University in 1962. In time he became vice-chairman of the Renaissance Institute at Sophia University, and editor of the Institute's Renaissance Monographs. He was the first director of the university's Renaissance Centre, opened in 1984. After his retirement he continued to provide lectures at the Renaissance Centre. He is best known in Japan as the author of a series of readers and textbooks for the study of the English language and English literature, and as an essayist on comparative culture. {{citation needed|date=November 2013}}

Outside Japan, he is best known to academics as a specialist in Renaissance literature who, largely on the basis of research in the Huntington Library, compiled two fundamental aids for the study of religion in early modern England: Religious Controversies of the Elizabethan Age (1977) and Religious Controversies of the Jacobean Age (1978). Milward was also a book reviewer for Monumenta Nipponica. After his retirement he was one of the leading proponents of the view that Shakespeare was a crypto-Catholic. He wrote regularly for the St. Austin Review. {{citation needed|date=November 2013}}

In March 2019, the Heythrop Journal wrote an editorial apologizing for the lack of sufficient editorial oversight regarding fourteen of Milward's published book reviews in that journal wherein Milward used "certain expressions that are offensive in nature and hold no place in professional academic discourse."[4] In each of these book reviews, spanning from 2013 until his death in 2017, Milward referred to female scholars of authored works under review as "lady authors," sometimes as many as three times in one review. One author, Dr. Joanne Paul, drew attention to Milward's phrase in a 2017 review of her book in a tweet.[5] She commented there that the editors of the Heythrop Journal, when pressed about this sexist language, responded that "they said it was a 'stylistic lapse' that wouldn't happen again."[6] At the time of that reply, Prof. Milward had been deceased for two months.
