Political Censorship of the Arts and the Press in
Nineteenth-Century Europe presents a comprehensive account of the
attempts by authorities throughout Europe to stifle the growth of
political opposition during the nineteenth-century by censoring
newspapers, books, caricatures, plays, operas and film. Appeals for
democracy and social reform were especially suspect to the
authorities, so in Russia cookbooks which refered to 'free air' in
ovens were censored as subversive, while in England in 1829 the
censor struck from a play the remark that 'honest men at court
don't take up much room'. While nineteenth-century European
political censorship blocked the open circulation of much
opposition writing and art, it never succeeded entirely in its aim
since writers, artists and 'consumers' often evaded the censors by
clandestine circulation of forbidden material and by the widely
practised skill of 'reading between the lines'.
