Politics, Prudery and Perversions: The Censoring of the English Stage, 1901-1968, and : Governing Morals: A Social History of Moral Regulation, and : Bound and Gagged: A Secret History of Obscenity in Britain (review)

Abstract

There is a long, inglorious, and still continuing history of censorship in Britain in which long-standing themes of national sexual prudery and ruling-class secrecy have been intricately intertwined. There is also a fairly long tradition of writing books about it.
