De la liberté de la presse et de la censure
"Tuer un homme, c'est détruire une créature raisonnable ; mais étouffer un bon livre c'est tuer la raison elle-même. On ne peut pas regarder la censure des livres comme une méthode dictée par la sagesse ; car, si c'était un moyen sage, il faudrait l'appliquer à tout ; il n'y aurait pas de raison pour qu'on s'en servit pour les livres, plutôt que pour toute autre chose ; c'est là sans doute une invincible démonstration que ce moyen n'est bon à rien"
Dans ce pamphlet resté célèbre, Milton réclame l'abrogation du Licensing Order promulgué par le Parlement d'Angleterre en juin 1643. Cette ordonnance instaurait une censure et prohibait l'impression de livres jugés contraires à la religion, au gouvernement et au bonheur de la nation toute entière. C'est ainsi contre une atteinte sévère à la liberté d'expression que Milton s'exprime, en déployant un argumentaire à la fois historique et philosophique qui, point par point, vise à démontrer l'inutilité et la dangerosité de cette inquisition.

The Complete Harvard Classics 2021 Edition - ALL 71 Volumes
( newly updated TOC )
The Harvard Universal Classics, originally known as Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf, is a 51-volume anthology of classic works from world literature, compiled and edited by Harvard University president Charles W. Eliot and first published in 1909.
Eliot had stated in speeches that the elements of a liberal education could be obtained by spending 15 minutes a day reading from a collection of books that could fit on a five-foot shelf. (Originally he had said a three-foot shelf.) The publisher P. F. Collier and Son saw an opportunity and challenged Eliot to make good on this statement by selecting an appropriate collection of works, and the Harvard Classics was the result.
Eliot worked for one year with William A. Neilson, a professor of English; Eliot determined the works to be included and Neilson selected the specific editions and wrote introductory notes. Each volume had 400–450 pages, and the included texts are «so far as possible, entire works or complete segments of the world's written legacies.» The collection was widely advertised by Collier and Son, in Collier's and elsewhere, with great success.
Eight years later Eliot added a further 20 volumes as a sub-collection titled 'The Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction', offering some of the greatest novels and short stories of world literature. The exhaustive anthology of the 'The Harvard Classics' comprises every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject up to the twentieth century.
