This Supplement Edition of Areopagitica, designed for teachers or autodidacts, has three elements: the text itself, supplementary material from a number of sources organized around questions that students may ask, such as, What was Milton's early career? Why did he write Areopagitica? What was happening in England at the time? Plus an extensive Notes section for the names and events that Milton mentions, a Bibliography, and a Glossary (ex. "sponge" from spunge, to expunge). 124pp. in all. The printed version lists page numbers. A pdf version with hyperlinks is also available; contact the publisher at bandannabooks.com for information. Here is the Table of Contents for the Supplement Edition. This provides the same text, with the same page numbering, as the student edition, with a wealth of information organized around typical student questions, plus a glossary. Here are the questions: Preface for Teachers Why is Areopagitica important? Who was John Milton? Who was in Milton's family? What was his childhood like? What happened during Milton's college career? How did Milton prepare himself after college? What happened on Milton's trip to Italy? Did Milton change on returning to England? Did Milton marry? What was he writing at this time? Why did Milton use this title? Why did he write Areopagitica? What was the public reaction to Areopagitica? What did the early critics say about Milton? Why was England in a turmoil in the 1640s?

This is true liberty, when freeborn men, Having to advise the public, may speak freely, And he who can and will, deserves high praise; Who neither can nor will, may hold his peace; What can be juster in a State than this? Euripides —The Suppliants

This supplement is designed to help supply background information, opinions and interpretations of John Milton, Areopagitica, and the issue of freedom of the press. Milton’s “other” career—poetry, and in particular Paradise Lost—won’t be found in this supplement. In fact, Milton remained a pamphleteer until 1655, when he returned to poetry and his greatest glory as an epic poet. Sections are organized as questions to which a number of “answers” are given. The answers, from many experts, contradict each other, are confused, indirect, or answer a different question entirely. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to expedite discussion, and perhaps to referee or to reserve judgment entirely. Milton did not solve all our problems by raising the issue. In fact, the importance of this little pamphlet has only increased with time. In our age, legislators can’t keep up with every new twist in telecommunications; Milton’s battle for freedom of thought is refought every few years in the corridors of power. The device of copyright, which Milton championed, has blossomed into an industry of derivative rights, which enables many artists and writers to sustain themselves by their work. The music industry and the Internet raise new questions on the role of copyright. Consult the Glossary in the back of this book for defi nitions of unfamiliar terms, persons or places. The Bibliography lists works cited in this Supplement, and the Notes are linked to text passages in this Supplement Edition of Areopagitica: Freedom of the Press, from Bandanna Books.
