Areopagitica and Other Prose Works Author: John Milton Retail Price: $8.00 Our Price: $7.20 Save: 0.80 (10.00%)        An uncompromising defender of liberty as well as a sublime poet, John Milton published the 'Areopagitica' in 1644, at the height of the English Civil War. The impetus arose from Parliament's Licensing Order, which censored all printed materials and ultimately led to arrests, book burnings, and other authoritarian abuses. Milton's polemic, strengthened by biblical and classical allusions, remains enduringly significant and ranks among the world's most eloquent defenses of the right to free speech. 192 pages, paperback.
