Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton and the Liberties of England More than any other man in English history, Milton was the apostle of liberty - liberty of thought, liberty of discussion. On this subject his works are text-books for all time. Comparing the present with the past, and allowing for other great forces working in the same direction, we may claim that he had much to do with the making of modern England.

His peculiar and characteristic brand of classicism, romanticism, puritanism, modernism, individualism, Hebraism, Hellenism, Republicanism, egoism, indignation, sensuous aesthe'ticism, and pas sion for a liberty of speech and thought that had not so far been conceived but by the few, made him an arrogant, self-dedicated solitary, a superb and mon strous alien.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton and Liberty Milton's political writing posses more than a biographical value - they have a message for own time. The more democracy spreads the more it is to be desired that the people should be so inspired and guided that they will make a noble use of their freedom. Such inspiration and guidance are found pre-eminently in Milton. The people who follow his doctrine of liberty will make more of duties than of rights, and value rights mainly as the means of performing duties. They will use their power, not to compete with one another for material well-being or any private advantage, but for mutual service and the common good. Without such an ideal, democracy will only, as Mazzini has said, "produce egotists who will carry the old passions and desires into the new order of things."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton's Areopagitica: A Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing The notes accompanying this Edition were compiled for the use of those of my own pupils who are candidates for the Oxford Local Examinations: they are published because I know that the want of a school-edition of this treatise has been very generally felt. They are mainly taken from sources obvious and easily accessible, and make no pretensions to original or extensive research. I have endeavoured to make them as brief, as exact, and as complete as possible, bearing in mind, first the disinclination of young pupils to consult books of reference for themselves, however accessible; and, secondly the increasing number of students of English Literature to whom the Classical Dictionary is not a familiar book in daily use. Much, help has been received from the notes to Holt White's very elaborate Edition (London, 1819). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Reviving Liberty written by Joan S. Bennett and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton's Great Poems--Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes--are here examined in the light of his lifelong commitment to the English revolutionary cause. The poems, Joan Bennett shows, reflect the issues Milton had dealt with in theological and public policy debate, foreign diplomacy, and propaganda; moreover, they work innovatively with these issues, reaching in epic and tragedy answers that his pamphlets and tracts of the past twenty years had only partially achieved. The central issue is the nature and possibility of human freedom, or "Christian liberty." Related questions are the nature of human rationality, the meaning of law, of history, of individuality, of society, and--everywhere--the problem of evil. The book offers a revisionist position in the history of ideas, arguing that Renaissance Christian humanism in England descended not from Tudor to Stuart Anglicanism but from Tudor Anglicanism to revolutionary Puritanism. Close readings are offered of texts by Richard Hooker, Milton, and a range of writers before and during the revolutionary period. Not only theological and political positions but also political actions taken by the authors are compared. Milton's poems are studied in the light of these analyses. The concept of "radical Christian humanism" moves current Milton criticism beyond the competing conceptions of Milton as the poet of democratic liberalism and the prophet of revolutionary absolutism. Milton's radical Christian humanism was built upon pre-modern conceptions and experiences of reason that are not alien to our time. It stemmed from, and resulted in, a religious commitment to political process which his poems embody and illuminate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Milton Milton's original intention was to have visited Sicily and Greece, but he says, The sad news of civil war coming from England called me back; for I considered it disgraceful that, while my fellow-countrymen were fighting at home for liberty, I should be travelling abroad at ease for intellectual purposes. From Naples he returned' to Rome, where he again spent two months, and arrived once more in Florence towards the end of February 1639. After a short excursion to Lucca, he set out for Venice, crossing the Apennines, and passing through Bologna and Ferrara. His residence in the island-built city was of short duration; there be shipped for England the rare and curious books which he had collected in his travels up and down the Peninsula. His course next lay through the fertile plains and famous towns of Lombardy, over the Pennine Alps, and along Lake Leman to Geneva, where he stayed for a week or two, to enjoy the society of the most learned professor of theology, John Diodati, uncle of his friend Charles, who had just recently died. Resuming his homeward journey, he passed rapidly through France, and landed in England about the beginning of autumn, after an absence of fifteen months. During all his wanderings his conduct had been blameless - worthy of him who thought no man should dare to be a poet whose life was not itself a poem. I take God to witness, he solemnly affirms, that in all those places where so many things are considered law. Ful, I lived sound and untouched from all pro igacy and vice, hav ing this thought perpetually With me, that though I might escape the eyes of men, I certainly could not the eyes of God.

Download or read book Areopagitica A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England written by John Milton and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Areopagitica: A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England John Milton was celebrated and denounced in his own time both as a poet and as a polemicist. Today he is remembered first and foremost for his poetry, but his great epic Paradise Lost was published very late in his life, in 1667, and in his own time most readers more readily recognised Milton as a writer of prose. This superbly annotated new book is an authoritative edition of Milton's major prose works, including Of Education, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates and the Divorce tracts, as well as the famous 1644 polemical tract on the opposing licensing and censorship, Areopagitica.In 1644, as Cromwell's Civil War was raging in England, the celebrated poet John Milton published his Areopagitica, Areopagitica: A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England a polemical tract arguing for the freedom of speech and an unlicensed press. Areopagitica: A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England The essay's title, “Areopagitica,” was derived from the name of a speech written by the ancient Greek orator Isocrates, Areopagitikos. Areopagitica: A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England Addressed to the Parliament of England, the Areopagitica draws on a number of classical and biblical sources to support Milton's cause for the freedom of the press. One of the most obvious examples that the author uses is that of the Areopagus, a judicial council which, in ancient times, had investigated corruption in Athens. Areopagitica: A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England In modern times, the Areopagitica is principally appreciated as a cornerstone in the argument for the freedom of speech. Areopagitica: A speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England is John Milton's famous tract against censorship. Named after a speech by Isocrates, a fifth century BC Athenian orator, the work is counted as one of the most influential and inspired defenses of the right to freedom of expression in history. It is also a personal issue for Milton who was submitted to censorship himself when he tried to publish his defenses of divorce, radical works for the time that gained no quarter with censors. Distributed as a pamphlet, Milton's powerful arguments against 1643's Licensing Order note that classical Greek and Roman society was never subjected to such censorship, and he uses many classical and biblical references to reinforce his argument.

Download or read book When We Are No More written by Abby Smith Rumsey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our memory gives the human species a unique evolutionary advantage. Our stories, ideas, and innovations--in a word, our "culture"--can be recorded and passed on to future generations. Our enduring culture and restless curiosity have enabled us to invent powerful information technologies that give us invaluable perspective on our past and define our future. Today, we stand at the very edge of a vast, uncharted digital landscape, where our collective memory is stored in ephemeral bits and bytes and lives in air-conditioned server rooms. What sources will historians turn to in 100, let alone 1,000 years to understand our own time if all of our memory lives in digital codes that may no longer be decipherable? In When We Are No More Abby Smith Rumsey explores human memory from pre-history to the present to shed light on the grand challenge facing our world--the abundance of information and scarcity of human attention. Tracing the story from cuneiform tablets and papyrus scrolls, to movable type, books, and the birth of the Library of Congress, Rumsey weaves a compelling narrative that explores how humans have dealt with the problem of too much information throughout our history, and indeed how we might begin solve the same problem for our digital future. Serving as a call to consciousness, When We Are No More explains why data storage is not memory; why forgetting is the first step towards remembering; and above all, why memory is about the future, not the past. "If we're thinking 1,000 years, 3,000 years ahead in the future, we have to ask ourselves, how do we preserve all the bits that we need in order to correctly interpret the digital objects we create? We are nonchalantly throwing all of our data into what could become an information black hole without realizing it." --Vint Cerf, Chief Evangelist at Google, at a press conference in February, 2015.
