Abstract
This article examines some intricate problems related to interdisciplinary study of Law and Literature, including the meaning of juridical censorship of literary culture. It brings up for discussion three well-known cases that imply literary censorship: (a) the censoring of Miguel de Cervantes's novella La Gitannila; (b) the recent reframing of Mark Twain's novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer e Huckleberry Finn for didactic and educational purposes; (c) and the also recent distorted appraisal and judgement of some of Monteiro Lobato's books in Brazil. My aim is finally to study critically the possible meaning and dangers of the contemporary emergence of new worldwide censoring practices originating from constitutional democracies rather than totalitarian or non-democratic regimes.
