Areopagitica

John Milton

Narrated by Martin Oldfield

Follow John Milton View on Audible amazonapple
"Areopagitica," a powerful prose polemic presented to Parliament in 1644, passionately advocates for the freedom of expression and critiques the 1643 Ordinance for Regulating Printing, which mandated government approval for publications. Drawing inspiration from the traditions of Athenian oratory, Milton's work, while not immediately successful in swaying Parliament, garnered widespread acclaim and significantly influenced future pro-liberty thinkers, including John Locke and the Founding Fathers of the United States. This landmark text remains a pivotal defense of free speech in Western history.
