Abstract
This article builds a bridge between England in 1642–60 and revolutionary France. It is about the use of Milton, a symbolic figure of the Puritan Revolution, by a leading personality of the French Revolution, Mirabeau. As he adapted Milton's Areopagitica as Sur la liberte de la presse, imité de l'anglois de Milton (1788) and “translated” his Defence of the English People as Théorie de la royaute, d'après la doctrine de Milton (1789), Mirabeau shrewdly introduced English concepts of political freedom in France. The following article will provide a close comparison and in‐depth analysis of the original documents.
