About Milton and the Revolutionary Reader

The English Revolution was a revolution in reading with over 22 000 pamphlets exploding from the presses between 1640 and 1661 What this phenomenon meant to the political life of the nation is the subject of Sharon Achinsteins book Considering a wide range of writers from John Milton Thomas Hobbes John Lilburne John Cleveland and William Prynne to a host of anonymous scribblers of every political stripe Achinstein shows how the unprecedented outpouring of opinion in mid seventeenth century England created a new class of activist readers and thus helped to bring about a revolution in the form and content of political debate By giving particular attention to Miltons participation in this burst of publishing she challenges critics to look at his literary practices as constitutive of the political culture of his age Traditional accounts of the rise of the political subject have emphasized high political theory Achinstein seeks instead to picture the political subject from the perspective of the street where the noisy scrappy and always entertaining output of pamphleteers may have had a greater impact on political practice than any work of political theory As she underscores the rhetorical literary and even utopian dimension of these writers efforts to politicize their readers Achinstein offers us evidence of the kind of ideological conflict that historians of the period often overlook A portrait of early modern propaganda her work recreates the awakening of politicians to the use of the press to influence public opinion Originally published in 1994 The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print on demand technology to again make available previously out of print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905
