About this Event
Join us for a special evening with the eminent scholar and author, Professor Nicholas McDowell, who will share Milton’s courageous and revolutionary ideas about free speech, and how they remain relevant in the world today. Professor McDowell will explore how Areopagitica, Milton’s celebrated defence of intellectual liberty, challenged censorship in seventeenth‑century England and laid the philosophical groundwork for many of the freedoms we value today.
This event offers a rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s leading literary historians illuminate the enduring power of Milton’s thought, its influence on democratic discourse, artistic expression, and the ongoing struggle to balance truth, tolerance, and authority in public life.
Your tickets include delicious canapes and wine in the historic Mercers' Hall.
