I'm about to use a quote from Milton's Areopagitica in a lecture I'm giving.

Can someone enlighten me as to how this work is pronounced? - I mean the "g" in the title, of course.

Thanks, Doron

Maybe one just doesn't know just how Milton would have pronounced it. ▲ Collapse

Thank you Jan 18, 2006

Dear Pawel and Robert,

Many thanks for your replies.

It seems I'll go for the 'modern' pronunciation, and explain to the gentelman (who is bound to come to me after the lecture) that I had to choose between this and the classical hard g.

Btw, my lecture is about book burning and translation, and of course I'm using Milton's famous words:

“Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills Reason ... See more
Dear Pawel and Robert,

Many thanks for your replies.

Btw, my lecture is about book burning and translation, and of course I'm using Milton's famous words:

“Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills Reason itself, kills the
Image of God, as it were in the eye.”

Thanks again, Doron ▲ Collapse
