Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton and Liberty Milton's political writings possess more than a biographical value - they have a message for our 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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton's Paradise Lost This sonnet is one of the most' splendid acts of homage ever paid by one great poet to another. It was written during the great war of a hundred years ago, the struggle against the devouring am bitiou of Napoleon. It is dated 1802, a time of facile jubilation, no doubt, to those who did not or could not look ahead, but a time of utter gloom to one who, like Wordsworth, exalted the war as a holy war for great principles of Liberty and Good Faith.

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's Fame on the Continent Milton was mentioned, but not as a poet, by P. Costar in his Memoire des gens de lettres celebres des pays etrangers and the Comte de Comminges, Louis XIV's ambassador at the court of Charles II, made, in 1663, his famous report to his royal master to the effect that the arts and sciences had passed to France, and that, if there were any vestiges left in England, 'ce n'est que dans la memoire de Bacon, de Morus, de Bucanan et, dans les derniers siecles, d'un nomme Miltonius qui s'est rendu plus infame par ses dangereux cerits que les bourreaux et les assassins de leur roi'. The lexicographers, C. Funccius, G. M. Konig, C. Gryphius, and V. Paravicini, give Milton brief notices in their biographical works, but they know him only as a political agitator, and especially as the author of Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio, a book to which universal attention had been drawn on the Continent by the fact of its having been publicly burned at Paris and Toulouse. In 1697, Bayle honoured Milton by devoting to him three pages of his Dictionary, this being the only English poet mentioned in the work. Still, it is obvious that it was not Milton the poet, but Milton the political writer, in whom Bayle was interested, and he was content to repeat at second hand that Paradise Lost 'passe pour l'un des plus beaux ouvrages de poesie que l'on ait vu en anglais', Paradise Regained being 'not nearly so good'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of John Milton Oua task. Is a grateful one - to write the history of a man who united in himself the two high and honour able'charaeters of patriot and Post. Such men are rarely to be met with. There is something too etherial in the feelings of the poet - something too inimitable in his views - to comport with that vivid perception of the common-place, every-day, localized circumo stances of life, that is essential to the heart's blood of the patriot. The poet, like the metaphysician, is too much given to generalizing, to have his mind very strongly impressed with the weight and value of ordinary and isolated facts. His mind sweeps through the aggregate of the incidents and circum stances that constitute the natural and social world, giving only just so much attention to the several parts of which it is made up, as is necessary to constitute a sublime picture 0 the mighty whole. Sueh a man can scarcely become a patriot. Lie must, indeed, possess enlarged and liberal feelings - his sympathies must be with the multitude of his fellow-men - the sight of injustice and oppression must ever render him uneasy; but to be a patriot, it is not enough that he mourn or rejoice, as social misery or happiness predominates; he must be so strongly impressed with the enormity of social evils so much alive to the duties of every citizen in the struggle to annihilate them, and so thoroughly satisfied of the causes out of which they arise, as to be impelled forward into the arena of political strife, and encounter, at the hazard of liberty and of life, the deadly hostility of the agents of evil. The man of sirong oetieal perceptions and feelings, is not likely to he thus mox ed and operated upon, by the individual circumstances of others. But these are exceptions, and when we meet with them, either amongst our contemporaries, or associated with the worthies of by-gone times, they command our edmir ing reverence, and almost idolatrous homage. Such a man was John Milton. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Liberty The necessity of teaching, not only to young Americans but to all prospective Americans, the meaning and mis sion of political liberty has but lately found expression in the movement known as Americanization. What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.

Download or read book Milton Political Writings written by John Milton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-02-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Milton was not only the greatest English Renaissance poet but also devoted twenty years to prose writing in the advancement of religious, civil and political liberties. The height of his public career was as chief propagandist to the Commonwealth regime which came into being following the execution of King Charles I in 1649. The first of the two complete texts in this volume, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, was easily the most radical justification of the regicide at the time. In the second, A Defence of the People of England, Milton undertook to vindicate the Commonwealth's cause to Europe as a whole.This book, first published in 1991, was the first time that fully annotated versions were published together in one volume, and incorporated a new translation of the Defence. The introduction outlines the complexity of the ideological landscape which Milton had to negotiate, and in particular the points at which he departed radically from his sixteenth-century predecessors.
