| Summary |
"Exploring critical legal issues and cases of the period-from Oscar Wilde's prosecution for gross indecency to legal bans on such publications as D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's lover, Radclyffe Hall's The well of loneliness, and James Joyce's Ulysses-[this book surveys] the legal contexts of transatlantic Anglo-American modernist culture. [The] book covers such topics as: obscenity laws and censorship; copyrights, moral rights, and the public domain; patronage and literary piracy; and privacy, defamation, publicity, and blackmail."-- Back cover. |
