<div><div>This new edition of <i>On Liberty</i> is the first to combine John Stuart Mill's influential work with a set of relevant primary sources by Mill and his contemporaries. Alan Kahan's introduction provides students with crucial background on nineteenth-century British politics and society; intriguing biographical details about Mill's early life, intellectual career, and marriage; and thought-provoking discussion of the core issues of autonomy and freedom that <i>On Liberty</i> addresses. The related primary documents -- including an excerpt from Mill's famous proto-feminist treatise <i>On the Subjection of Women</i> -- offer useful insights into the philosopher's intellectual outlook as well as a fascinating view into <i>On Liberty</i>'s rather stormy reception. Excerpts from Mill's diary and autobiography, contemporary reviews of <i>On Liberty</i>, and appreciations of Mill by his colleagues all deepen students' understanding of this remarkable work and its equally remarkable author. Headnotes and gloss notes to the documents, a selected bibliography, a chronology of Mill's life, and a set of questions for consideration offer additional pedagogical support. </div></div>
