The book includes examples of censorship in literature, theater, and the visual arts, and discusses the ways in which artists have responded to censorship. Overall, Censorship and Art is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between censorship and artistic expression.Having observed that there is no reason whatever for the exemption of Literature, let us now turn to the case of Art. Every picture hung in a gallery, every statue placed on a pedestal, is exposed to the public stare of a mixed company. Why, then, have we no Censorship to protect us from the possibility of encountering works that bring blushes to the cheek of the young person?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
