In the first collection to be devoted to this subject, a
distinguished cast of contributors explores expurgation in both
Greek and Latin authors in ancient and modern times. The major
focus is on the period from the seventeenth to the twentieth
century, with chapters ranging from early Greek lyric and
Aristophanes through Lucretius, Horace, Martial and Catullus to the
expurgation of schoolboy texts, the Loeb Classical Library and the
Penguin Classics. The contributors draw on evidence from the papers
of editors, and on material in publishing archives. The
introduction discusses both the different types of expurgation, and
how it differs from related phenomena such as censorship.
