Questions of Censorship

<p>First published in 1973 <i>Questions of Censorship </i>offers a lively yet scholarly account of the forces that have exercised censorship down the ages. Unlike most other works on this theme which have been confined to media legislation or countries this book essays a broader theme viewing censorship within the total context- psychological sociological and political. Although attention is focused mainly on censorship in Britain this is set in perspective by comparative accounts of the situation in the United States France and the Soviet Union. This book will be a valuable reference work for students of media studies political studies and for general readers. </p>
