Collection of poetry: primary author - compiler or poet?

[A.]

So, I've a dillemma. There's quite a few collections of John Milton poetry here.

They all seem to be thrown into one combined collection of editions. Fair enough.

But I have also found another example, which is also a collection of Milton's poetry in one volume with annotations. It seems to be separate, and lists the compiler as the author, not the poet himself.

So, which one's correct? Should I combine those two editions of The Annotated Milton with all those other poems, changing the author accordingly?

Yes, the poet should be the primary author and the editor should be secondary for those books. The editor is only listed first for multi-author collections, not for collections of a single author's work.

Done. Thanks.
