Areopagitica and The Poetical Works of John Milton (Annotated)
Areopagitica; A speech of Mr. John Milton for the Liberty of Unlicenc'd Printing, to the Parlament of England is a 1644 prose polemical tract by the English poet, scholar, and polemical author John Milton opposing licensing and censorship. Areopagitica is among history's most important and impassioned philosophical defences of the principle of a right to freedom of speech and expression. It is regarded as one of the most eloquent defences of press freedom ever written because many of its expressed principles form the basis for modern justifications of that right.

Milton's poetry was slow to see the light of day, at least under his title. His first published poem was On Shakespear (1630), anonymously included in the Second Folio edition of William Shakespeare. In the midst of the excitement attending the possibility of establishing a new English government, Milton collected his work in 1645 Poems.

This edition has been formatted for your NOOK, with an active table of contents. It has also been illustrated and annotated, with additional information about the works and its author, including an overview, background, argument, critical response, quotations, references, information on John Milton's poetry, biographical and bibliographical information.
