First published in 1992, Writing and Censorship in Britain explores
the issue of censorship, from a range of cultural and literary
perspectives, from the Tudor period to the 1990s. Written by some
of the leading experts in the field, this collection charts the
struggles for artistic expression, reveals how censorship is
appropriated as a legitimate tactic in the defence of oppressed and
marginalised groups, and analyses the struggles writers have
employed in the face of its complex dynamics. Here variously
defined, defended and deplored, censorship emerges as both an
unstable and a potent concept. Through it we define ourselves: as
readers, as writers and as citizens. This book will be of interest
to students of literature, history and law.
