Summary

Freedom of the press! 

John Milton, author Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, calls for complete freedom of the press and speech and an end to any government censorship in 1644. Censorship is a perennial issue. In addition to insight into the English revolution, Milton has much to teach us today. Anyone interested government censorship should listen to this insightful text. 

This version gives the historical context (his marriage), so you know why John Milton wrote this text. You will also read a summary of the "Order of Parliament" against which the Areopagitica was directed.
