John Milton (9 December 1608 -- 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, a scholarly man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost.

Writing in English, Latin, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica, (written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship) is among history #39;s most influential and impassioned defenses of free speech and freedom of the press. William Hayley #39;s 1796 biography called him the "greatest English author", and he remains generally regarded "as one of the preeminent writers in the English language"; though critical reception has oscillated in the centuries since his death (often on account of his republicanism). Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as "a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind," though Johnson (a Tory and recipient of royal patronage) described Milton #39;s politics as those of an "acrimonious and surly republican".

12 Chinese Writers Win Free Speech Award
A prestigious free speech award has been given to 12 writers, journalists, and activists from China, Human Rights Watch announced Thursday. In total, 41 writers from 19 countries received the 2012 Hellman/Hammett grants for promoting free expression in the midst of government harassment and persecution. The winners from China include ethnic Hans, Tibetans, Mongolians and Uighurs. The names of four Tibetan recipients were not announced due to safety concerns. All 12 have been detained or jailed, and seven are still in prison. They have endured unlawful house arrests, restrictions on their movement, and numerous threats and interrogations by police. Human Rights Watch says the oppression and intimidation of writers like these by the Chinese regime aims to discourage others from freely expressing themselves. This helps reinforce self-censorship, undermines free speech, and prevents the public from accessing the truth.
