Overview

Animado por la constante molestia que le causaba el estricto control del Parlamento sobre la prensa y por la censura sobre su propia obra, Milton escribió este libro como un ejercicio de vigor prosístico que es hoy uno de los más antiguos y vigentes discursos en torno a la libertad de imprenta. Milton dedicó su alegato a la institución que, en el Reino Unido, sería la correspondiente del Areópago, el tribunal ateniense, para cuestionar las medidas de regulación y control oficiales de los medios. El poeta sufrió cárcel y estuvo cerca de ser ejecutado por sus actividades propagandísticas, pero expuso, en el siglo XVII, una polémica que sigue vigente.

About the Author

About The Author
John Milton (1608-1657) was an English poet and intellectual. Milton worked as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England and wrote during a time of religious change and political upheaval. Having written works of great importance and having made strong political decisions, Milton was of influence both during his life and after his death. He was an innovator of language, as he would often introduce Latin words to the English canon, and used his linguistic knowledge to produce propaganda and censorship for the English Republic’s foreign correspondence. Milton is now regarded as one of the best writers of the English language, exuding unparalleled intellect and talent.
