Casi diez años después de haber publicado su Areopagítica (1644), John Milton declaró cuál había sido su propósito al llevar tan atrevido discurso ante el Parlamento inglés: "Librar a la prensa de las restricciones con las que fuere lastrada, de manera que el poder de determinar lo que era verdad y lo que era mentira, lo que habia de publicarse y lo que habia de suprimirse, dejare de confiarse a unos cuantos individuos iletrados e ignorantes, los cuales habrian de negar su licencia a toda obra que contuviere parecer o sentimiento apenas superior al nivel de la vulgar supersticion".
