This is a revisionist history of press censorship in the rapidly
expanding print culture of the sixteenth century. Professor Clegg
establishes the nature and source of the controls, and evaluates
their means and effectiveness. The state wanted to control the
burgeoning press, but there were difficulties in practice because
of the competing and often contradictory interests of the Crown,
the Church, and the printing trade. By considering the literary and
bibliographical evidence of books actually censored and by placing
them in the literary, religious, economic and political culture of
the time, Clegg concludes that press control was not a routine nor
a consistent mechanism but an individual response to particular
texts that the state perceived as dangerous. This will be the
standard reference work on Elizabethan press censorship, and is
also a history of the Elizabethan state's principal crises.
