{"product_id":"areopagitica-and-other-prose-works-john-milton-9780486811253","title":"Areopagitica and Other Prose Works","description":"An uncompromising defender of liberty as well as a sublime poet, John Milton published the \"Areopagitica\" in 1644, at the height of the English Civil War. The impetus arose from Parliament's Licensing Order, which censored all printed materials and ultimately led to arrests, book burnings, and other authoritarian abuses. Milton's polemic, strengthened by biblical and classical allusions, remains enduringly significant and ranks among the world's most eloquent defenses of the right to free speech.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the \"Areopagitica,\" this collection of Milton's most significant prose works includes \"Of Education,\" a tract on educational reform; \"Meditation Upon Divine Justice and The Death of King Charles the First,\" a rationale for the overthrow of the monarchy; \"The Doctrine and Disciple of Divorce,\" in which the author urges the enactment of a virtually unheard-of reform allowing divorce for incompatibility and the right of remarriage; and \"Autobiographical Extracts,\" featuring highlights from Milton's memoirs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Milton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486811255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486811253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"John Milton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045159956735,"sku":"9780486811253","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e0a1f3c-9753-4987-9668-731af921d030.jpg?v=1684977089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/areopagitica-and-other-prose-works-john-milton-9780486811253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
