Areopagitica
John Milton
In 1644, as Cromwell's Civil War was raging in England, the celebrated poet John Milton published his Areopagitica,
a polemical tract arguing for the freedom of speech and an unlicensed press.

The essay's title, “Areopagitica,” was derived from the name of a speech written by the ancient Greek orator Isocrates, Areopagitikos.

Addressed to the Parliament of England, the Areopagitica draws on a number of classical and biblical sources to support Milton's cause for the freedom of the press. One of the most obvious examples that the author uses is that of the Areopagus, a judicial council which, in ancient times, had investigated corruption in Athens.

In modern times, the Areopagitica is principally appreciated as a cornerstone in the argument for the freedom of speech.

Milton's Paradise Lost
John Milton
"First published in 1667, Milton's aweinspiring, epic poem is considered by many to be the greatest in the English language. Incorporating elements from classical literature and, most notably, the Bible, Paradise Lost was produced by Milton when it seemed that his best work was behind him. Living in the country, away from the hubbub of the recently restored monarchy, Milton communed with his inner being. The result was a poem that was virtually ignored on its publication. It would be for later generations to rescue it from obscurity. Now over 300 years later it is still claiming admirers, and with this new edition of Paradise Lost it is hoped that many more readers will draw inspiration and understanding form Milton's stirring evocation of man's duality." -- BOOK JACKET.
