"Manifestos For The Twenty-First Century" is a Seagull Series
created in collaboration with Index On Censorship, a home and a
voice for freedom of expression since it was founded in 1972.
Despite Western culture's roots and much touted pride in its
classical Greek and Roman legacy, the sexual freedoms of the
ancient world have had no place in the official cultures of Western
societies. As late as the 19th Century, homosexuality was the "love
that dare not speak its name". In "Censoring Sexuality", Paul
Bailey examines and analyses the various kinds of censorship -
political, literary, cultural - which have oppressed and silenced
homosexual men and women. Such a history of censorship extends, of
course, way beyond Europe. American puritanism has hugely impacted
not only on the lives but also the art works of writers and
film-makers whilst the moral values of Hollywood have influenced
generations. Discussing artists as diverse as Marcel Proust,
Benjamin Britten, WH Auden and Terence Rattigan, Saki and Ronald
Firbank, "Censoring Sexuality" explores the true nature of "camp"
and the rich tradition of subversive and comic art created by the
censoring of the sexual.
