Produktbeschreibung

James Joyce and Censorship is the first book to tell the fascinating story of the trials of Ulysses. Based on extensive archival research, it is also the first study of the trials to analyze their influence on the reception and composition of Ulysses in the context of Joyce's lifelong struggle with the censors, to evaluate their significance as an important turning point in the history of censorship, and to emphasize their relevance to contemporary debates regarding freedom of literary expression.

Rezensionen

'Vanderham's excellent account traces the obscenity prosecutions of Joyce's book and comes to some polemical conclusions.' - Steven Poole, Guardian
