John Milton's powerful and influential "Areopagitica: A Speech For The Liberty Of Unlicensed Printing To The Parliament Of England" remains a cornerstone of the fight for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This vital early modern text, originally published in 1644, is a passionate defense against censorship and a compelling argument for liberty of publication.

Addressed to the Parliament of England, Milton's "Areopagitica" argues eloquently against pre-publication licensing and the suppression of ideas. This meticulously prepared edition offers readers direct access to one of history's most enduring and persuasive statements on the importance of a free and open press. A timeless exploration of civil rights, constitutional law, and the very foundations of authorship, "Areopagitica" continues to resonate with anyone concerned about intellectual freedom.
