From the 19th century onwards, famous literary trials have caught
the attention of readers, academics and the public at large. Indeed
it is striking that more often than not, it was the texts of
renowned writers that were dealt with by the courts, as for example
Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Charles Baudelaire's Les
Fleurs du Mal in France, James Joyce's Ulysses and Henry Miller's
Tropic of Cancer in the US, D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover
in Great-Britain, up to the more recent trials on Klaus Mann's
Mephisto and Maxim Biller's novel Esra in Germany. By bringing
together international leading experts, Literary Trials represents
the first step towards a systematic discussion of literary trials
on a global scale. Beginning by first reassessing some of the most
famous of these trials, it also analyses less well-known but
significant literary trials. Special attention is paid to recent
developments in the relationship between literature and judicature,
pointing towards an increasing role for libel and defamation in the
societal demarcation of what literature is, and is not, allowed to
do.
