trstockand's review

I used Areopagitica as the basis for my term paper in one of my history courses. Milton was one of the first to claim the need for a free press as an essential check on the powerful. I purchased this copy when I was still in high school for 25 cents at a garage sale of a neighbour up the street. (

This guy is the apologist for freedom of the press. An LSE Public Lecture Tribute to the late Roger Silverstone is the inspiration. (

Milton's passion of liberty lasted throughout his life. Areopagitica is the literary embodiment of that passion and, to quote Harold Laski, remains "a majestic hymn to the power of truth to prevail over falsehood in the battle of ideas." -- The Classics of Liberty
