Supplement Edition: Areopagitica: Freedom of the Press

This Supplement Edition of Areopagitica, designed for teachers or autodidacts, has three elements: the text itself, supplementary material from a number of sources organized around questions that students may ask, such as, What was Milton's early career? Why did he write Areopagitica? What was happening in England at the time? Plus an extensive Notes section for the names and events that Milton mentions, a Bibliography, and a Glossary (ex. "sponge" from spunge, to expunge). 124pp. in all. The printed version lists page numbers. A pdf version with hyperlinks is also available; contact the publisher at bandannabooks.com for information.
Here is the Table of Contents for the Supplement Edition. This provides the same text, with the same page numbering, as the student edition, with a wealth of information organized around typical student questions, plus a glossary. Here are the questions:
