Milton, by Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800 - 1859)


All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/milton-by-thomas-babington-macaulay/
John Milton (1608-1674) was an English poet, classicist, and fearless advocate for civil liberty, who served the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He is best known for his epic poem "Paradise Lost" (1667), a work of sublime imagery and hidden heresy. In this long essay, Macaulay combines literary criticism with political history, writing that to Milton, almost alone among his contemporaries, belonged "the glory of the battle which he fought for, the species of freedom which is the most valuable, and which was then the least understood, the freedom of the human mind." (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Thanks, Erin!

I have read all of "On Christian Doctrine" and found it a fascinating manifesto of Milton's optimism about the nature of man and his zeal for human liberty. But it is indeed heretical to the orthodox (Arianism, mortalism, animate materialism).
