✦ Synopsis

"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 recognized Milton as a writer of prose. This superbly annotated new book is an authoritative edition of Milton{u2019}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 opposing licensing and censorship, Areopagitica." --;From The reason of church-government urged against prelaty (1642). -- From The doctrine and discipline of divorce (1643/4). -- Of education (1644). -- Areopagitica (1644). -- The tenure of kings and magistrates (1649). -- A treatise of civil power in ecclesiastical causes (1659). -- Considerations touching the likeliest means to remove hirelings out of the church (1659). -- The ready and easy way to establish a free commonwealth (1660). -- Of true religion, heresy, schism and toleration (1673). -- The "Digression" from The history of Britain (1681). -- Appendices.
