士兵、出版商和小册子作者约翰·斯特里特（John Streater）是17世纪50年代一位相对被忽视的政治作家，他代表了分散的平等主义者向古典共和主义的转变。在1650年代，他被视为一个勇敢和不妥协的反对声音。1653年秋，他因出版了一本名为《大政治告密者》的作品而被克伦威尔起诉。本文重新发现这本出版物，确定它作为斯特里特的第一本新闻书，并探讨其对斯特里特的职业生涯和佳能的影响。1654年，斯特里特写了两个系列的新闻书，以一种间接的方式批评保护国。《政治告密者》（Politick Informer）是一部肆无忌惮的作品，它表明斯特里特在1653年被起诉和监禁后学会了驯服自己的声音，并用古典典故的语言表达了他对政府的敌意。
The soldier, publisher, and pamphleteer John Streater is a comparatively neglected political writer of the 1650s, who represents the turning of the dispersed Levellers to classical republicanism. In the 1650s he is seen as a brave and uncompromising voice of opposition. In the autumn of 1653 he was prosecuted by Cromwell for publishing a work entitled The grand politick informer. This article rediscovers this publication, identifies it as Streater's first newsbook, and explores its implications for Streater's career and canon. In 1654 Streater wrote two series of newsbooks which criticized the Protectorate in an oblique fashion. The grand politick informer, a work of unbridled ferocity, shows that Streater learned to tame his voice after his 1653 prosecution and imprisonment, and to couch his antagonism to the government in the language of classical allusion.
