Originally published in 1999, this book deals with the cultural and
legal debates which have counterposed the right to free speech and
the need to protect Christian sensibilities in Britain from the
time of the French Revolution to the present day. Central to the
book is a close study of the content and public reception of the
anti-Christian literature of the 19th century associated with the
names G.W.Foote and J.W. Gott, the Freethinker and The Truthseeker.
David Nash here also examines a variety of critical-theoretical
approaches to blasphemy and blasphemous writing, including
postmodernism and the work of Foucault and Said. The book concludes
with a detailed examination of 20th-century blasphemy cases, up to
and including the Gay News case, The Last Temptation of Christ and
Visions of Ecstasy.
