REVIEW OF BOOK: CENSORED:  A LITERARY HISTORY OF SUBVERSION AND CONTROL, BY MATTHEW FELLION AND KATERINE INGLIS
Censored: A literary history of subversion and control by Matthew Fellion and Kathleen Inglis explores the history of censorship in the UK and the US, spanning from the late 14th century to contemporary challenges.
