Prose Works of John Milton

This is a collection of Milton's prose writings, which he produced mostly during the turbulent middle years of his life. It gathers pamphlets and treatises on church government, education, divorce, the freedom of the press and the nature of kingship and republican government, along with other occasional pieces. They show the thinker and controversialist behind the poet, and give a lively view of the political and religious conflicts of seventeenth century England.
