This absorbing history by Robert Darnton deepens our understanding of how censorship works. The author recreates three historical worlds in which censorship shaped literary expression in distinctive ways: eighteenth-century France, British Raj India, and Communist East Germany. This revealing study enables us to think more clearly about efforts to control expression past and present.
Robert Choate Darnton is an American cultural historian and academic librarian who specializes in 18th-century France.
