Imperial Germany's governing elite frequently sought to censor
literature that threatened established political, social,
religious, and moral norms in the name of public peace, order, and
security. It claimed and exercised a prerogative to intervene in
literary life that was broader than that of its Western neighbors,
but still not broad enough to prevent the literary community from
challenging and subverting many of the social norms the state was
most determined to defend. This study is the first systematic
analysis in any language of state censorship of literature and
theater in imperial Germany (1871-1918). To assess the role that
formal state controls played in German literary and political life
during this period, it examines the intent, function, contested
legal basis, institutions, and everyday operations of literary
censorship as well as its effectiveness and its impact on authors,
publishers, and theater directors.
