剑桥政治思想史原著系列(影印本):弥尔顿政治著作选
目 录内容简介
John Milton was not only the greatest English Renaissance poet but also devoted twenty years to prose writing in the advancement of religious, civil and political liberties. The height of his public career was as chief propagandist to the Commonwealth reg;ime which came into being following the execution of King Charles I in 1649. The first of the two complete texts in this volume, 77ze Tenure of Kings and Magistratcs, was easily the most radical justification of the regicide at the time. In the second, A Dcfenc of the People of England, Milton undertook to vindicate the Commonwealth's cause to Europe as a whole. They are central to an understanding both of the development of Milton' s political thought and the climax of the English Revolution itself. This is the first time that fully an_notated versions have been published together in one volume, incorporating a wholly new translation of the Dqfence. The introduction outlines the complexity of the ideological landscape which Milton had to negotiate, and in particular the points at which he departed radically from his sixteenth - century predecessors. Further aids to students include a full chronology ofMilton' s life and important contemporary events, a select bibliography, and biographies ofpersons mentioned in the text.
